Monitoring common storage usage

To access COMMON STORAGE MONITOR (CSMON), do one of the following:

  • On the COMMAND line, type CSMON.
  • Select the CSMON option from the UTILITY view.

The Common Storage Summary panel is displayed.

Note

The COMMON STORAGE MONITOR uses IBM VSM tracking data; therefore, if you want to use CSMON you must also enable VSM storage tracking.

COMMON STORAGE MONITOR does not employ the MainView window interface. When you select the CSMON option, your current window configuration is replaced with the Common Storage Summary panel in the standard ISPF panel environment. The MainView window configuration will be displayed again after you end your COMMON STORAGE MONITOR session.

Additionally, because there is no window information line available, the current system identifier or complex context name appears in the TARGET field located in the upper right-hand corner of each Common Storage Summary panel.

Note

This section assumes that COMMON STORAGE MONITOR data-collection services have already been started for your site. If not, see your system administrator. If you are planning to use complex contexts, be sure that COMMON STORAGE MONITOR is running on all systems defined in the contexts.
