I/O Performance and Monitoring Tools 129
• Disconnect time, which covers all internal LCU delays primarily due to a
prerequisite process in the storage server; for instance, staging activity for
cache misses, or PPRC propagation of the I/O to the secondary site
•
Connect time, which covers effective data transfer activity
Queuing time is called
I/O supervisor queuing (IOSQ) time in RMF reports, and
covers delays involved by aggregate application interactions on the same volume
for that LPAR.
Several LPARs (weighted by activity) sharing the same storage servers must be
consolidated to establish value correlations with CACHE reporting.
Figure 50. Direct Access Device Activity Report
The Direct Access Device Activity report provides detailed information for each
(functional) volume and consolidates the information at the LCU (or Storage
Group when required) level.
The fields to review are:
• LCU, reference number used lo locate which CHAN report data to analyze
• DEVICE ACTIVITY RATE, rate per second at which start subchannel (SSCH)
instructions to the device completed successfully
• AVG RESP TIME, response time in milliseconds
• AVG IOSQ TIME, queuing time in IOSQ on the device
• AVG PEND TIME, pending time
• AVG DISC TIME, disconnect time
