8464ch11_Monitoring.fm Draft Document for Review February 7, 2020 3:15 pm ORPHANS Identify orphan data  sets in Tape  Management  Catalog (TMC) Cleanup tool CA1, TLMS, RMM,  ZARA, CTLT Listing file showing all  multiple occurrence  generation data groups  (GDGs) that were not  created in the last  nn days. PRESTAGE Recall lvols to VTS Ordered and efficient BVIR VOLUME MAP Jobs that are submitted  to recall lvols. SMFILTER IFASMFDP exit or  E15 exit Filters SMF records to  keep just tape activity.  Generates “tape”  records to simulate  optical activity SMF data Records for tape activity  plus optional TMM or  optical activity. TAPECOMP Show current tape  compression ratios See how well data will  compress in VTS Logrec MDR or  EREP history file Shift and hourly reports  showing current read and  write compression ratios. TAPEWISE Identify tape usage  improvement  opportunities Shows UNIT=AFF,  early close,  UNIT=(TAPE,2),  multi-mount,  DISP=MOD, recalls SMF 14, 15, 21, 30,  and 40 Detail, summary,  distributions, hourly,  TGROUP, and system  reporting. TCDBMCH Identify tape  configuration  database (TCDB)  versus Tape Catalog  mismatches List VOLSER  mismatches CA1, TLMS, RMM,  ZARA, CTLT ERRRPT with  mismatched volumes. TMCREUSE Identify data sets with  create date equal to  last ref date Get candidate list for  VTS PG0 CA1, TLMS, RMM,  ZARA, CTLTF Filter list of potential PG0  candidates. VEHGRXCL Graphing package Graphs TS7700 activity VEHSTATS flat files Many graphs of TS7700  activity. VEHSCAN Dump fields in  historical statistics  file Individual field dump BVIR stats file DTLRPT for selected  interval. VEHSTATS TS7700 historical  performance  reporting Show activity on and  performance of  TS7700 BVIRHSTx file Reports showing mounts,  data transfer, and box  usage. VEPSTATS TS7700 point-in-time  statistics Snapshot of last 15  seconds of activity plus  current volume status BVIRPIT data file Reports showing current  activity and status. VESYNC Synchronize TS7700  after new cluster  added Identify lvols that need  copies BVIR data and CA1,  TLMS, RMM, ZARA,  CTLT List of all VOLSERs to  recall by application. VOLLIST Show all active  VOLSERs from TMC.  Also, get volume  counts by group,  size, and media. Used to get a picture of  user data set naming  conventions. See how  many volumes are  allocated to different  applications. CA1, TLMS, RMM,  ZARA, CTLT Dsname, VOLSER,  create date, and volseq.  Group name, counts by  media type.
