Re: Correlating CHPID utilization with DASD device activity

2006-09-07 Thread Laura Prill
I got an answer from IBM's z/OS Support, who found an old PMR with a similar problem described. VM does not support CPMF (this is currently not documented anywhere). Thus, RMF cannot provide accurate FICON channel utilization data for any z/OS guest machine. To get valid FICON utilization

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my post. My research has gone in a new direction the last few days. During the holiday weekend, when system activity on both of our machines was relatively low, I was able to compare the RMF channel utilization values by running the same large

-- snip -- For one site, the RMF Channel Path Activity report is showing substantially higher channel activity than for the other site. The times of the high channel activity are well aligned with a testing schedule, but I would like to further narrow down what is causing the extra activity. . .

We have two ESS-800s running at different sites. Each ESS is conncected to a local z800 processor. Each device has access to four FICON channels. Each device is using PAVs. For one site, the RMF Channel Path Activity report is showing substantially higher channel activity than for the
