STK VSM Disk Buffer Usage Chart (TAPPSB)

The
MICS
STK VSM Disk Buffer Usage Chart is created from measurements in the Subsystem Performance Request (SVTSSP) file. The report charts the disk buffer usage in the VTSS.

The report body displays the following measurements:
  • Total Disk Buffer Capacity (GB) (SSPAVTCP)
  • Used Disk Buffer (GB) (SSPAVUCP)
  • Free Disk Buffer (GB) (SSPAVFCP)
Usage Considerations:
If several systems are sharing the VTSS resource, consider selecting only a primary SYSID to report on. The same data is reported to all systems that are sharing the resource. Without specifying a primary SYSID to report on, the charts for all systems sharing the VTSS will look similar.
To produce the report:
  1. Enter the
    MICS Workstation Facility
    (MWF)
  2. Choose option 2,
    MICS Information Center Facility
    (MICF)
  3. Choose option 2, Database Inquiries
  4. Select TAPPSB, whose Catalog Group is PERFORM
  5. Complete the MICF Execution panel
  6. Complete the specification panel. For information about modifiable panel fields, see StorageTek VSM MICF Inquiry Specification Panels.
The following report sample shows the hour changes in disk buffer capacity by hour throughout the day for each SYSID/VTSSID combination.
