IBM Z Hardware and Operating Systems Ideas Portal


This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

RMF I/O new panel with RATE/response time for ASYN SYNC(zhyperl) CSR (Consistent Read Secondary)

We currently get the I/O response time and and I/O rate by running a RMF report (summary) as follow :

The JCL

//RMFPP EXEC PGM=ERBRMFPP,REGION=0M

//MFPINPUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYTMVS.$SJ08.W9AS3JC.SMF.TOUT.D240128.TKS1

//PPSUM001 DD SYSOUT=*

//PPSUM002 DD SYSOUT=*

//PPSUM003 DD SYSOUT=*

//MFPMSGDS DD SYSOUT=*

//PPXSRPTS DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSIN DD *

SUMMARY(INT)

STOD(0000,2400)

DINTV(0015)

The output looks like this, we get the DASD RESP and DASD RATE that we send to Splunk every 15 minutes.

The values are for each system , the values is calculated by RMF.

We now use CDP to stream SMF records and also RMF reports .

With the introduction of new technology/feature, I think it would be quite interesting and useful for us to have a new RMF panel

that would compute all the different Response_time and IORate that now exist

SYNCH_READ (zHyperlink)

SYNCH_WRITE (zHyperlink)

ASYNH_READ

ASYNCH_READ_CRS (Consistent Read Secondary)

ASYNCH_WRITE

and also a WEIGHTED calculation of the overall SYNCH+ASYNCH RATE and RESPONSE_TIME

    In parts the requested data is there, in parts it is not. Additional input would needed to be delivered by the Gatherer team first in order for RMF to be able to proceed in the future.
