I would estimate about 1 (or maybe a bit more) 3390-3 DASD per day to hold the raw performance data stream from MONWRITE. Of course, if you will want to keep more that one day's worth of raw data, you'll need that much more extra DASD space reserved.

As Barton has already mentioned, it's a good idea to reduce the raw data down to something more manageable by using a performance monitor. I believe that the PerfKit can write it's summary data to DASD.......

Thanks again...

And ideal on the amount of data were talking here on a typical day?
Typical mini disk size's???  500 cyls, full 3390 mod 3, multiple
mod-3's...

This is currently what is being actively monitored

Where would I find the instructions to setup and begin running
monwrite?
