Download and install Dataset Audit Facility from CBTtape.org.
Easy to install, price is right and you'll never be at a loss when a dataset
goes missing, provided you're cutting all the necessary SMF data.

I'm sorry; I should have worded that differently. I did not mean 'time slice'
per se but rather the weight assigned to each LPAR. This is a constrained
system so as Ted points out the weights are being enforced.

concerning CMF reporting of CPU Delay
Assuming that CMF works the same as RMF, yes, the CPU delay % indicates the
% of samples taken where the workload was waiting to use a LP. This
calculation has no visibility to the physical CPs.

Back to my original question, if LPARa has a weight of 30 and is 100% busy but
is only getting 50% physical then the CPU delay % should be 50%. However CMF is
reporting 2-3% which leads me to conclude that CMF is only computing wait for
Logical Processors within the LPAR.
Thank You,

Hi Kees,
3 physical CPs
2 Prod LPARs each with 3 LPs
1 Test LPAR with 2 LPs
1 Sandbox with 1 LP
So we have 9 LPs competing for 3 CPs. Fortunately 3 of those LPs are little
used.
The relative weights of the Prod LPARs are 45 and 30.
The LPAR reporting the problem is the one with 30, no surprise
We had a situation where our M204 users reported a delay but CMF shows the main
delay as CPU but at a relatively low %.
Question - Does CMF only report CPU delay for the Logical Processors in that
particular LPAR?
The LPAR is question often shows CPU usage of 90+%, while the CMF LPARSTAR view

You got it. Migrate needs to be Y,I (Incremental) or P (Primary Space Mngt.)
Also check Q AC for the following: MIGRATION=NOT HELD, AUTOMIGRATION=NOT HELD

Esmie,
Check the Storage Group and make sure it is Migration enabled.

Some time ago I changed the device type for Devclass Cartridge from an esoteric
for 9840Ds to an esoteric for our VSM unit.
I neglected to see that I had a 9840D cart with a status of 'filling'.
Since the devclass now points to VSM, I'm getting the following msg.
ANR5373I Cannot allocate tape dr
Hi Janet,
I duplex my ML2 and Backup HSM data out to our off-site location then send it
all to DR along with the weekly backups. DR has been much smoother since I
started doing this about 5 yrs ago. No more missing data.
Thank You,

Upon re-reading Bob's post below, I realize that I don't have a problem. The
3590 drives are not emulating 3490s so according to the manual capacitymode
will be ignored.
Thank You,

ault of 97 percent. For the command to be
effective, you must enter the SETSYS USERUNITTABLE command before the SETSYS
TAPEUTILIZATION command.
