z/VM 5.2 ESAMON vs IBM PTK regarding SYTSHS_RSASHARE monitor record

2006-12-20 Thread Craig Sutton

Hello,
   I've been comparing the Velocity ESAMON and IBM Performance Toolkit
products on z/VM 5.2, and have noticed that they disagree on the value of
the SYTSHS_RSASHARE monitor record. According to the IBM doc, the
SYTSHS_RSASHARE monitor record represents Cardinal count of resident shared
frames. When I extract the MRSYTSHS monitor record from ESAMON, I get:

SYTSHS_RSACTSHR=6300.0
SYTSHS_RSASHARE=9400.0

When I extract the MRSYTSHS monitor record through PTK, I get:

SYTSHS_RSACTSHR=6300
SYTSHS_RSASHARE=2409384

which corresponds to the 'Shared storage' value reported in PTK STORAGE.
Does anyone know which one's correct?

Thanks, Craig


z/VM 5.2 CP INDICATE LOAD missing STORAGE utilization output

2006-12-13 Thread Craig Sutton

Hello,
I'm debugging an old REXX exec which fails in z/VM 5.2 with the
following command:

'PIPE CP IND LOAD',
  '| locate /STORAGE-/',
  '| xlate - blank % blank',
  '| specs w2 1',
  '| var PctStorage'

It looks like the STORAGE utilization output is missing. Does anyone know of
another way to obtain this from within a REXX exec?

Thanks, Craig
