And ideal on the amount of data were talking here on a typical day? i have several vm systems, and we also ftp the data to z/OS for reporting, so it is quite a lot of space that is occupied in z/VM and z/OS to hold all the data. For the performance toolkit its good to have a lot of data

Hi Stefan, In response to your statement, * the old file is read by a rexx procedure and only a subset of the monitoring records are selected from it building a new file (about 10% of the original size), this reduced file is then send to z/OS by ftp for reporting. I'd be interested in

Maybe this is where we need a NEW utility program, since MONWRITE is doin g exactly the job it was written for (copying ALL monitor data to disk/tape ?). Perhaps a utility that when pointed at a selection criteria file and a monwrite output file, will copy only those monitor records sellected. Or

Unless the objective is to have a program that will collect some of the records for one reporting function and another instance of the program collecting a different selection of the monitor records for a different reporting function, why not just limit the amount of records written to the

Because as someone pointed out before (Barton, I think), for performance monitoring, you want more event data and for capacity planning you need appropriate sample data. I think PerfTK could deal with more data than it needs for online real-time performance monitoring, while another process

According to help HCPLNM1151E your LNX000 DASD volume is not a 3390-9. I would guess that it is a 3390-3. You may want to ATTACH the device ucb for LNX000 to yourself then do DEVTYPE ucb. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vikesh

From the MAINT id, enter Q DASD LNX000. This will give you the device address of that volume, such as: DASD 6903 CP SYSTEM LNX000 Then enter Q DASD DETAILS and find out how many cylinders CP thinks it has. If it is incorrect, it isn't configured correctly in the storage controller or you

Almost. I would consider the PIPE that uses the starmon stage to be a utility; the stage by itself is simply a tool used to build the utility. An interesting thought: when was the last time someone sat down and went through everything that's on the default S disk? It might be very

If you search google, using z/VM performance capacity planning, you should see velocitysoftware.com/whylps.html as the first link. This is the description of instrumentation requirements. I've also offered zMON (dirt cheap, by the way) as a real time monitor that will produce records for MICS

Or you could look at the Redbooks. The additional files from REDP3818 has a sample for a monwrite machine that filters records. In this case CPU usage records. Kris, isn't TSLAMON avalable on the VM download packages? Regards, Berry. Kris Buelens schreef: Here some code from y TSLAMON EXEC
