Volume usage reports

The VOLUME report name verb generates reports reflecting DASD utilization by volume.

All volumes are reported on that have data recorded in the snapshots selected. Three different types of reports can be generated by using the Volume report name verb:

  • The Volume Snapshot report details volume usage for all volumes for a specific snapshot.

  • The Volume Snapshot report for a specific volume lists volume space usage for a specific volume for one or more snapshots.

  • The Volume Interval report lists volume space usage for a specific volume averaging the snapshot information on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Using the DAY, WEEK, or MONTH keyword switches from Snapshot to Interval reports.

Purpose

Reports on DASD utilization by volume

Data source

Volume database (SGRDVOL)

Initial order

Time in descending order

Report name verb

VOLUME

Member name

SRMBR020

See the Report filters and option keywords for space reports for a list of the report option keywords that are available on this report. If the NAME option keyword is used on the VOLUME report, LASTHRS, LASTDAYS, or START is required.

To show data only from weekdays, weekends, specific days of the week, specific days of the month, or a portion of a day, use the SHIFT command to define which snapshots to include in the report. This permits you to generate reports only for weekdays, weekends, first shift, and so on. If you do not specify DAY, WEEK, or MONTH, a Volume Snapshot report is generated. The Volume Snapshot report contains a different set of columns than does the Volume Interval report.

Refer to the field list chart for a detailed listing of all columns displayed. There are separate tables: one for the Volume Snapshot report and another for the Volume Interval report.

Some of the fields listed are not included automatically in the report. If you want to include their contents, use the ORDER command.

The following table presents a field list for the Volume Snapshot Report.

FREE SPACE

FREESPAC

Total unallocated space available.

IDLE SPACE

IDLESPAC

Total amount of allocated but unused space. This is a good indicator of the amount of storage that is being wasted through over allocation.

INDX VTOC

INDXVTOC

Indexed VTOC indicator.

  • A – indicates that the volume has a defined active VTOC index.

  • I – indicates that the volume has a defined indexed VTOC but it is inactive.

  • N – indicates that there is no defined indexed VTOC for the volume.

SMS INDC

SMSINDC

SMS indicator. N indicates that the volume is not SMS-managed. I indicates that the volume is in SMS Initial status. Y indicates that the volume is SMS-managed.

When a pack is SMS-managed and a construct has not been defined for it, the SMS indicator is YES and the SMS status is NO STAT (no status).

MNT

Example

The following example shows how to generate a report to determine when space utilization on a specific volume exceeded a given percentage.

In this example:

  • NAME report option keyword requests information for volume WORK03.

  • LASTDAYS report option keyword limits the request to the last 7 days.

  • PERCFULL data output field name limits the request to snapshots where the percentage full exceeded 99 percent

VOLUME,
NAME(WORK03),
LASTDAYS(7),
PERCFULL(>99)

The following figure provides a sample of the customized report.
