EMC's DLm Add the following new sections in the Configuration Guide at the end of the Configure Virtual Tape Systems section, in chapter Configuring <vant> Tape Resource Option.

6 CA Vantage Storage Resource Manager CA RS PTF RO65534 Configure for EMC DLm The following sections describe how to configure for the EMC Disk Library for mainframe (DLm), virtual tape facility. SYSPROG - Run INSTALL Job J06DLM To configure for EMC DLm, run install job J06DLM. This job allocates and initializes your configuration data sets for EMC DLm. If not already done, find this job in the CCTUSAMP library, customize it to your needs as instructed in the comments at the beginning of the member, and run it now. Run Factory Summary INSTALL Job J01SUMM. This job copies the Factory Summary objects from CCTUSAMP to SUMMDEFS. Configure for EMC DLm The EMC DLm facility uses the EMC Command Processors facility to obtain information and return the result to input files for CA Vantage Disk Interval (DI) objects. Note: All versions of DLm does not support all Command Processors. Check which Command Processors that are installed on your system. This interface is using: CP501, CP502, CP503, CP504, CP601, CP602, and CP998 (or CP999) You must comment out the sections for the Command Processors not supported. (There will be no data in the associated objects.) For the DLMDIJCL JCL that gets submitted, make sure that the VANTDEV user ID is granted the authority to issue the EMC DLm Command Processors DLMCMD RUNWAIT commands and has access to the libraries in the JCL. You must set the CA Vantage system parameter DLMDIPFX. It determines the Prefix of the output files from the EMC Command Processor jobs. Configure the DLMDIPFX system parameter to comply with your local requirements. Note: For more information about the system parameter, see the description in the section VKGPARMS Parameter Descriptions. The EMC DLm objects are implemented as Disk Interval (DI) objects. Use system script DLMDISCR and the DLMDIJCL JCL which is distributed in the CCTUSAMP library, to collect object information and write it to its disk interval data set on a the schedule specified. The disk interval data sets are then used as input to the EMC DLm objects whenever it is requested. The script should already reside in your system scripts library (as identified by system parameter SYSTSCR). If not, simply copy it manually from the CCTUSAMP library. Copy the DLMDIJCL member from the CCTUSAMP library to your JCL library if it is not already residing there To schedule when this script should run 1. To schedule when these scripts should run, do one of the following: * Edit the DLMDISCR member of your system scripts data set. Uncomment the PERFORM_EVT_PROC statement (move it one space to the left so that the line begins in position 1) and specify an execution date and time. For example: PERFORM_EVT_PROC=ON_DAY=MON,AT_TIME=0100 Valid values for the ON_DAY= parameter are: ALL, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, or SUN. Also update the SET_NUMB_RECORDS= to indicate roughly the number of volumes in your tape library. For example: SET_NUMB_RECORDS= * Use the System Script Builder wizard in the Windows Client to set these values. In the Windows Client menu bar, select z/os, Object Scripting, and then System Scripts. In the Script Selection page of the wizard, select the scripts (the scripts you select depend on your tape devices as noted above). 2. To change configuration, use the Configure Script action in the EMC DLm objects. Open the object in the Windows Client, click Actions, and the appropriate Configure Script action from the Actions menu list. To activate and execute the script

7 CA Vantage Storage Resource Manager CA RS PTF RO To execute the DLMDISCR script enter the following commands: F SAMS,AUTO,REFRESH=SYSTEM,DLMDISCR F SAMS,AUTO,FIRE=SYSTEM,DLMDISCR 2. Wait until the script completes execution before requesting the EMC DLm objects. The following console message appears when the script ends: VAN0735I Automation Script SYSTEM DLMDISCR: Control returned from the Event Procedure Add following sysparms to Config Guide section VKGPARMS Parameter Descriptions. DLMDIPFX Specify the data set prefix for the EMC DLm data sets.

The reason is that the z/os SMTP Server running in SECURE mode expects data in NETDATA format, not plain text. For secure SMTP, the IEBGENER utility is incorrectly sending the mail in PUNCH format, when it should be sending it in NETDATA format.

You can use this feature simply by setting SMTPHOST system parameter with proper mail server address. If the mail server listens on a different port than the default port 25, you can specify it in SMTPPORT system parameter. If you specify any SMTPHOST, this direct way is used for sending s in CA Vantage, not the spool interface. Note that SMTP connectivity must be available between the mail server and the z/os LPAR where the Vantage started task is running on. Change the section name from 'SYSPROG - Configure SMTP Server for GOA ' to 'SYSPROG - Configure SMTP Server for GOA Using Spool Interface'.

They are commonly over-allocated, and this can not easily be detected. 4. The zoom to Data Sets by Volume is often in LI mode. It should default to RT (real time) because this is fast, and current status is always more valuable. 5. The zoom to Data Sets by Storage Group in RT (real time) mode needs to be faster and DTOCVEXC exclusions need to be applied. 6. Memory above the bar for the DTOC is over-allocated by as much as 50 percent or even more. This needs to be managed better, such that the Memlimit can be set more accurately. 7. The memory limit above the bar for individual tasks is not managed correctly for generalized server tasks. False indications are sometimes given that too much memory has been consumed by the task, followed by a rejection of the getmain request, and subsequent failure of the executing function. 8.

An additional request must be made to get RT mode. 5. A zoom request in RT to Data Sets by Storage Group, for a large storage group, takes too long. For example, a request for the SYSALLDA storage group might take 4 times longer than a new DTOC scan. Volumes put into the DTOCVEXC list incorrectly show up in the RT Data Sets by Storage Group. 6.

Analysis of problems within a storage group may be bypassed simply because it takes too much time to get real time (RT) data. 6. System performance can be degraded or put in jeopardy because the MEMLILMIT value is left too high. 7. Needed objects may not be available due to errors measuring memory usage by the task and comparing it to the task limit. 8. Desired analysis can not be done. 9.

32 CA Vantage Storage Resource Manager CA RS PTF RO67565 Notice: A low value such as 1 or 2 may have been set because of memory problems for the VTOC readers. This was a considerable problem in the old DTOC support (prior to the PTF that converts DTOC4VOL and DTOC4POL to filtered DTOC4SYS). But the current DTOC support has pretty much eliminated the former memory problem related to multiple readers. Each VTOC reader (within the DTOC reader) now uses a fixed buffer size, much smaller than previously. Using nn DTOC readers does use nn(fixed buffer size) in memory, but this is so much less than in the old code, that it will very seldom, if ever, be a problem. So it is recommended to try setting sysparm DTOCRDRS to a value of (4) or even higher. This does not affect CPU usage at all, but it does drive more I/O concurrently, and should reduce the elapsed time of the DTOC scan -- making the DTOC more available.

It should say 62% Publication: Reference Guide: Topic: Performance - Paging Activity The last paragraph currently says this: Higher paging activity depends on what adhoc activity is being performed by logged on users, as well as the specific functions performed by the automation scripts. For example, a request to filter and sort the data sets on a volume requires paging in only the DTOC pages for the specific volume., some, or all of the pages may have been paged out, depending on the available real memory and the contention with other tasks for that resource. The same request to filter and sort all data sets on the system typically requires

33 CA Vantage Storage Resource Manager CA RS PTF RO67565 significantly more paging, since the number of data sets is much larger. But again, how much more still depends on the same factors: the amount of real memory available, and the contention for that resource at that point in time.

Topic: Glossary It currently defines the DTOC like this: DTOC DTOC stands for Data set Table of Contents. It consists of one or more DSAB entries, one entry for each data set on each disk volume. The DTOC also has several indexes that consist of a list of 4-byte memory addresses, each pointing to one of the DTOC DSAB entries. The DTOC4SYS index is the list of pointers to all data set DSAB entries known to the system. A DTOC4VOL is the list of pointers to the DSAB entries for data sets on a single volume. A DTOC4POL is the list of pointers to all DSAB entries for data sets in a storage group. It should be changed to this: DTOC DTOC stands for Data set Table of Contents. It consists of one or more DSAB entries, one entry for each data set on each disk volume. The DTOC also has an index that consists of a list of 8-byte memory addresses, each pointing to one of the DTOC DSAB entries. The DTOC4SYS index is the list of pointers to all data set DSAB entries known to the system. Reference Guide: Chapter 2: Working with Data Sets Topic: DTOC - Data Set Table of Contents Current 2nd paragraph says this: An indexed DTOC is created for each volume (DTOC4VOL), each storage group (DTOC4POL), and each data set accessible on your z/os system (DTOC4SYS). As a result, DTOCs provide higher and broader views of storage. Data set views based upon the DTOC objects provide almost unlimited ability to view, analyze, and easily manage your installation data sets. For example, you can easily find and process all data sets belonging to a particular department, without regard to their physical locations or device types. Or similarly, you can find and analyze all the data sets assigned to a particular management class.
