Device Activity Report (Analyzer report)

The Device Activity Report displays I/O activity by device number.

The report is formatted by device class.

Device classes can be specifically requested or can default to whatever classes are found in the data. Within a device class, devices are sorted as specified by the ORDER parameter on the DEVACT control statement. When devices are sorted by LCU or storage group, there is a summary line for each LCU or storage group.

The Device Activity Report is produced by using the DEVACT Analyzer control statement. The data for this report is obtained by using the DEVICE.

Note

Data is displayed by device class, regardless of how the device data was requested on the Extractor DEVICE control statement.

The following figure shows a sample of the Device Activity Report.

Device Activity Report field descriptions

The following table describes each field in the Device Activity Report.

Field

Description

Average Time in MSEC section

DEV NUM

five-digit hexadecimal number that identifies this device

An asterisk (*) following this number indicates that the online/offline status of the device changed during the report interval.

DEVICE TYPE

type of the physical I/O device on which the volume is mounted

VOLUME SERIAL

volume serial number of the last volume that was mounted on this device; applicable only to DASDs and tape drives

# OF CYLS

number of cylinders on the device

STORAGE GROUP

name of the storage group that the DASD is assigned to if it is managed by SMS

PAV MX

number of exposures (base and aliases) of a Parallel Access Volume (PAV); applicable only to DASDs

  • For regular PAV, this number is the value at the end of the report interval. An asterisk (*) following this number indicates that the number of exposures changed during the report duration.
  • For HyperPAV, this number is the average value during the report interval.

Note

If a device changes PAV mode during a reporting interval, the HyperPAV mode will take precedence over the PAV mode, and only the HyperPAV information for that device will be reflected.

PAV TYP

indicates the operating mode of the PAV

  • PAV for regular PAV
  • HPV for HyperPAV

Note

If a device changes PAV mode during a reporting interval, the HyperPAV mode will take precedence over the PAV mode, and this field will contain HPV.

SSCH PER SEC

rate per second at which SSCH instructions issued for this device were completed successfully

OFFLINE is printed under this column if the device was offline during the entire report interval. If the online/offline status of a device changed during a recording interval, the device is considered offline and its data is skipped for that particular interval.

Notes

  • In the LCU Summary Line, this field contains the average SSCH per second for all devices that are online to the LCU.
  • (PTF BQM1523 applied) S is appended to the rate to indicate whether a device includes synchronous I/O.

TOTAL RESP

average number of milliseconds that are required by the device to complete an I/O request (including IOSQ, pending, connect, and disconnect time); commonly known as response time

IOSQ

average number of milliseconds of delay that an I/O request encountered because the device was busy performing an I/O from the local system

INIT COMND RESP

average number of milliseconds of delay that an I/O request encountered, beginning from when the first command of the channel program is sent to the device until the device indicates that it has accepted the command; this delay is part of pending time

Data is available only on a z990 or later processor.

DEV BUSY DELAY

average number of milliseconds of delay that an I/O request encountered because the device was busy due to I/O from another system; this delay is part of pending time

INTERRUPT DELAY

the average amount of time, in milliseconds per I/O request, that the I/O completion interrupt was delayed because no logical central processor (LCP) was available to accept the interrupt

A value for this field appears for devices attached to IBM zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12) and later servers. Otherwise, N/A appears.

PEND

average number of milliseconds that an I/O request must wait for hardware, such as an available channel path or control unit, as well as time between the SSCH pending at the channel and the device active on the subchannel

This time also includes delays caused by another processor that is reserving this device in a shared DASD environment.

DISC

average number of milliseconds during which the device was processing an SSCH instruction but not transferring data

CONN

average number of milliseconds during which the device was processing an SSCH instruction and transferring data

DEV CONN

percent of time during the measurement interval that the device was connected to a channel path 1

DEV IN USE

percent of time during the measurement interval that the device was in use; this number includes device connect and disconnect time 1

DEV RESV

percent of time during the measurement interval that this device was reserved by the processor on which the CMF MONITOR Extractor was executing

MOUNT PEND

percent of time that the device had a mount pending request outstanding; this number is reported only for DASD devices

AVG DSETS ALLOC

average number of data sets allocated on this device; this field reports only on DASDs

NUM OF MOUNTS

number of mounts for the tape device for the reporting interval

An asterisk (*) to the left of this value indicates that a mount pending condition existed at the start of the recording interval. An asterisk (*) to the right of the value indicates that a mount pending condition existed at the end of the recording interval.

For the LCU, the field contains the total number of mounts for all devices on the LCU for the reporting interval.

AVG MOUNT TIME

average mount pending time for the tape device

For the LCU, the field contains the average mount pending time for all devices on the LCU.

The field is reported as hh:mm:ss; the maximum time reported in this field is 99:59:59.

TIME DEVICE ALLOC

total time that the tape device was allocated during the reporting interval

For the LCU, the field contains the average allocation time for all active devices on the LCU during the reporting interval.

The field is reported as hh:mm:ss; the maximum time reported in this field is 99:59:59.

LCU

total/summary line for all devices on this LCU

n ACTIVE

number of devices on this LCU that had some I/O activity

NOT READY

percent of time that the device was not ready for use; not applicable to DASD or tape devices

Synchronous I/O section (PTF BQM1523 applied)

ACTIVITY RATE

  • SYNCH I/O—Rate per second of successful synchronous I/O read or write requests
  • ASYNCH I/O—Rate per second of asynchronous I/O requests

RESPONSE TIME

  • SYNCH I/O—Average response time in milliseconds of successful synchronous read or write requests
  • ASYNCH I/O—Average response time in milliseconds of asynchronous I/O requests

TRANSFER RATE

Average transfer rate in megabytes per second of read or write requests

% OF REQUESTS

  • SUCCESS—Percentage of requests that completed successfully
  • CACHE MISS—Percentage of requests that encountered the cache-miss condition (read requests only)
  • LINK BUSY—Percentage of requests that were rejected due to the link-busy condition
  • REJECTED—Percentage of requests that were rejected due to reasons other than link-busy condition

1 The calculation for this field includes HyperPAV MX values.
