Detail VMX DASD Cache Usage Report
Detail VMX DASD Cache Usage Report produces a tabular listing of cache usage on 3880-23 and 3990-3 control units by VOLSER for the duration of the period specified in the run-time execution parameters.
micsrm140
The report is in two formats: one for 3880-23 controllers and one for 3990-3 controllers. These are identified by the report titles.
I
ntended use
For analysis of cache usage in terms of how much activity is directed to cache VOLSERs; whether transfers to and from DASD are being avoided by using cache; and what percentage of bytes read are from cache, from DASD bypassing cache, and from DASD due to read misses. This report can be used to detect when cache is being utilized inefficiently, and for monitoring changes to the cache environment.
Format 3880-23 Control Units:
A tabular report in ascending order of device address where each column represents a different measurement associated with a given VOLSER:
READ HIT RATIO
The ratio of the sum of all "search and read normal" and "search and read sequential" requests that were satisfied from cache to the total number of read requests to the volume.
WRITE/READ RATIO
The ratio of the sum of all "write normal" and "write sequential" requests to the sum of all "search and read normal" and "search and read sequential" requests.
READ REQUESTS
The sum of all "search and read normal" and "search and read sequential" requests to the volume.
WRITE REQUESTS
the sum of all "write normal" and "write sequential" requests.
PCT OF DASD READ CACHE
The percentage of all bytes transferred from this VOLSER that were transferred from cache to the channel without DASD access.
PCT OF DASD READ DASD
The percentage of all bytes transferred from this VOLSER that were transferred from DASD to cache to the channel due to read misses.
PCT OF DASD READ BYPASS
The percentage of all bytes transferred from this VOLSER that were transferred from DASD to the channel, bypassing cache access.
FORMAT 3990-3 Control Units:
A tabular report in ascending order of device address where each column represents a different measurement associated with a given VOLSER:
OVERALL READ HIT RATIO
The ratio of the sum of all basic and extended function read requests that were satisfied from cache to the total number of read requests for the volume.
OVERALL WRITE/READ RATIO
The ratio of the sum of all write requests to the sum of all read requests for the volume.
BASIC READ HIT RATIO
The ratio of basic read (search and read normal, and search and read sequential) requests satisfied from cache to basic read requests for the volume.
BASIC READ WRITE RATIO
The ratio of basic read requests and basic write requests for the volume.
DASD F/W HIT RATIO
The ratio of DASD Fast Write requests that replaced a record in cache to the total of all DASD Fast Write requests for the volume.
DASD F/W OVERFLOW RATE
The rate at which DASD Fast Write requests had to be directed to DASD because cache was not available due to capacity constraints.
CACHE F/W READ HIT RATIO
The ratio of Cache Fast Write read requests satisfied from cache to the number of Cache Fast Write read requests made.
CACHE F/W WRITE HIT RATIO
The ratio of Cache Fast Write write requests satisfied from cache to the number of Cache Fast Write write requests made.

Calculations
A number of elements are calculated in arriving at this report, as follows:
READREQ = CDISRNRQ + CDISRSRQ; WRITEREQ = CDIWNRQ + CDIWSQRQ; IF READREQ > 0 THEN DO; RHRATIO = 100 * ((CDISRNRH + CDISRSRH) / READREQ); WRRATIO = 100 * (WRITEREQ / READREQ); END; ELSE DO; RHRATIO = 0; WRRATIO = 0; END; BYTEXFRD = SUM(CDIDACBX,CDICACBX,CDIDCCBX); IF BYTEXFRD > 0 THEN DO; CACHE = 100 * (CDICACBX / BYTEXFRD); DASD = 100 * (CDIDCCBX / BYTEXFRD); BYPASS = 100 * (CDIDACBX / BYTESFRD); END; ELSE DO; CACHE = 0; DASD = 0; BYPASS = 0; END;
