Re: z/VM 5.2 CP INDICATE LOAD missing STORAGE utilization output
I had a similar problem with an exec when I went to 5.2. Apparently this STORAGE info was dropped as it was considered sort of meaningless or incorrect. No one, at that time, made a recommendation as to what to use instead, so I just removed the code. We used it for display purposes and never actually used it as part of a calculation. This is not necessarily a plug for the product, but we use ESAMON and I can get most of this type of info from it. It's been a very good and useful product for us. Steve G.

Re: z/VM 5.2 CP INDICATE LOAD missing STORAGE utilization output
STORAGE has always been bogus. They finally took it out. The biggest conversion problem I've had, so far, in upgrading from z/.VM 5.1 to z/VM 5.2 is the changes that were made to the IND command. Not a show stopper. But it is going to take a while to rework the ind user exp output. I think there is some new goodies in there. I'm hoping that 5.2 has some commands that relate dataspace utilization. Like how many pages of a dataspace are in memory, how many are on the paging device, how many never used. I'm still hoping for a performance monitor, but in the mean time, knowing that some Linux image, went wild (get the video tape or DVD, Linux image gone wild!), and started using up lots of dataspace pages (for swapping). And since you can't get them back, easily, without taking the Linux image down,l it becomes important to find and correct these problems, before paging becomes too full.

Re: z/VM 5.2 CP INDICATE LOAD missing STORAGE utilization output
Not to imply that the STORAGE value is meaningful, but for that LOCATE stage as-coded you really want STRLOCATE, not LOCATE. E.g. 'PIPE CP IND LOAD', '| STRlocate /STORAGE-/', '| xlate - blank % blank', '| specs w2 1', '| var PctStorage' You might want also to download PIPEDEMO and PDEM from http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/ PIPEDEMO makes it really easy to find this type of thing.

VDISKs reside in dataspaces owned by CP. So don't be surprized nothing is reported by IND SPACE MAINT Find a user with real dataspaces, such as DB2 or SFS Kris, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
