SMS VOLUMES ADDED TO SG UNTIL NO MORE VOLUMES

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Sporadically, scripts adding SMS volumes to Storage Groups keeps

adding the volumes until the Storage Group runs out of spare

volumes or labels.

The reason is that the VANSMSAC module sometimes gives a return code

different from zero even if the ICKDSF initialization and VVDS

definition went OK.

SYMPTOMS:

Script ends with the following messages in MSGE:

VANSMSAC No SMS Volumes ready for SYSS on XMVS

VANSMSAD No SMS Volumes ready for SYSS on XMVS

EWSLSMSA No SMS Volumes ready for SYSS on XMVS

EWSLCMD LINE PGM=EWSLSMSA RC=8

IMPACT:

Too many Volumes are added to the SG.

Publication: Configuration Guide

In the Config Guide, change the section Configure Virtual Tape Systems

first sentence to read as follows:

CA Vantage supports the following Virtual Tape Systems (VTS): •

CA Vtape •

IBM's VTS •

STK's Virtual Storage Manager (VSM). •

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.



Release Service DetailsConfigure 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=100000

* 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



Release Service Details1. 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. These

data sets are used in the DLMDIJCL member of JCLLIB that the

DI script DLMDISCR submits and in the record creator

programs module for the DLm objects.

Applies to: Tape Resources

Default: (%%DSNPFX%%)

DLMTAPMO

Automates Dlm NL tape mount replies.

If the execution of the DLMDIJCL job produces tape mount

replies (WTORs), change the system parameter DLMTAPMO to (Y)

if you want to automate the replies.

Applies to: Tape Resource Option

Default: N

CREATE ESMTP REAL TIME EMAIL CLIENT ON THE HOST


When z/OS SMTP Server runs in SECURE mode (secure gateway) we are

not able to send any email. The reason is that the z/OS SMTP Server

running in SECURE mode expects data in NETDATA format, not plain text.

SYMPTOMS:

For secure SMTP, the IEBGENER utility is incorrectly sending the

mail in PUNCH format, when it should be sending it in NETDATA

format. Using spool interface of z/OS SMTP Server is quite

limiting in some cases. We cannot use this method when z/OS SMTP

Server is running with SECURE parameter at all.

IMPACT:

Vantage emails are not delivered.

CIRCUMVENTION:

Do not use z/OS SMTP Server with SECURE parameter.

PUBLICATION: Configuration Guide

***Chapter Configure General Object Automation (GOA)/SYSPROG -

Configure SMTP Server for GOA Email

***Change/Update the text from the following:

Add the following section in front of the section:

'SYSPROG - Configure SMTP Server for GOA Email'

'SYSPROG - Configure Vantage SMTP client for GOA Email'

CA Vantage has ability to communicate directly (in real time) with

any mail server (z/OS SMTP server, z/OS sendmail server, MS

Exchange server etc.) over SMTP protocol. 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

emails 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 Email'

to

'SYSPROG - Configure SMTP Server for GOA Email Using Spool Interface'.

Add this Note to the section:

Note:

This approach (spool interface) is used when SMTPHOST parameter is

not defined or full of blanks. Otherwise SMTP real time

communication (SMTP client) is used.

***Chapter VKGPARMS Parameter Descriptions

***Add the following text:



Release Service DetailsSMTPHOST

Specifies the address (IP or symbolic) of mail server used for

direct communication when sending emails from GOA scripts. In

addition to this parameter, the SMTPDOMN and SMTPPORT is used.

If SMTPHOST is left blank, the spool interface is used.

Applies to: Base System and Automation

Default: ()

SMTPPORT

Specifies the port the mail server is listening on when direct

SMTP communication is used for sending emails from GOA scripts.


Default: (25)

SMTPDOMN

Domain name to the SMTP server to be used when sending e-mails from

GOA scripts (up to 44 characters long). The domain name will

end up in the SMTP HELO command: HELO domain


The default value is blank.

SMTPSERV

Gateway name to the SMTP server to be used when sending e-mails

from GOA scripts (up to 8 characters long NJE network node

name).

This parameter is ignored if SMTPHOST is set.


The default value is (SMTPSERV).

SMTPSOUT

SMTP Sysout Class for spooling e-mails from GOA scripts.



The default value is (B).

SMTPSTC

Specify the name of your SMTP started task.

CONVERT DTOC4VOL AND DTOC4POL TO FILTERED DTOC4SYS


1. Getmain failures occur, especially during DTOC scans.

2. DTOC field EAS-Trks is always 0 (it is not filled with the proper

value).

3. Wasted (idle) space in VVDS data sets is not shown. 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. The following zooms have never worked:

-From DMSARCHV (CA Disk Archive Volumes) to Data Sets by Volume

-From SMSSPARE (Spare Vols for SMS SGs) to Data Sets by Storage Grp

-From SMSVOLS (DFSMS Complex) to Data Sets by Storage Grp

9. Environments with more than 26,211,778 data sets do not have all of

them available within the DTOC.

SYMPTOMS:

1. VAN0590E: GETMAIN FAILED, LEN= xxx,xxx,xxx SP=000 ID=VTOCREAL GETMAIN

AREA G CALLER=GENVTOCR

VAN0590D ----------------------- y,yyy,yyy=MAX LENGTH AVAILABLE

and other variations of the above two messages.

2. DTOC field EAS-Trks is always 0 for data sets known to reside in the

EAS area of EAV volumes.

3. DTOC fields % Idl, I-Trks and Idle Bytes are incorrectly shown as 0

for all SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser data sets.

4. By default, the Data Sets by Volume object is often displayed in

LI mode. 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. The MEMLIMIT= parameter in the JCL is specified higher than

needed, which in theory "requires" more page space to cover

worse case scenarios.

VAN1558E Object=objname was not created because the auxiliary page

space limit of ppp was hit

7. VAN1555E Object=objname was not created because the task getmain

limit of xxxx above the bar was hit

8. The following zooms always fail:

-From DMSARCHV (CA Disk Archive Volumes) to Data Sets by Volume

-From SMSSPARE (Spare Vols for SMS SGs) to Data Sets by Storage Grp

-From SMSVOLS (DFSMS Complex) to Data Sets by Storage Grp

Message following message is always given/received:

VKG0170D No Records Exist OR No Match On Filter Criteria

9. Message VAN0490I is issued, saying:

VAN0490I DTOC Size Limit Hit by Vol=volser. All Remaining Vols/DSNS

ignored.

IMPACT:

1. Many desired Vantage functions, and needed analysis, can not be done.

2. Usage of the extended addressing areas on DASD EAV volumes can not

easily be seen (confirmed as being used). This can lead to job

failures due to "disk space not available", simply because the EAS



Release Service Detailsareas are not being used as intended and assumed.

3. Disk space that could be used by important applications, is being

wasted in over-allocated VVDSs.

4. Analysis of problems on a volume may be based upon non-current

last interval (LI) data instead of current real time (RT) data.

5. 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. Analysis based upon the DTOC may be incomplete because not all

data sets are included.

CIRCUMVENTION:

1. None

2. IDCAMS ListCat, or VTOC listings can be examined to see if data

sets actually reside in EAS.

3. None

4. Continue to change the mode to RT when needed.

5. None

6. None

7. None

8. None

9. None

*** Replace the following:

DTOCSIZE

Specifies this parameter only if memory and auxiliary storage are very

limited, and you want to ensure that the DTOC itself never exceeds a

certain size. Specify a number (nnnn) in Megabytes (for example, 500

means 500MB).

A setting of (9999) ensures that every data set seen during the DTOC

scan and build process will be included in the DTOC.

The value of this parameter is divided by the row length of the DTOC

objects to determine the maximum number of DTOC rows to build. If this

limit is reached, message VAN0490I is issued, and the build process

stops.

Important! If you use this parameter and your limit is reached, you

will not be seeing everything you might expect within the DTOC. If

this condition goes unnoticed, you and other users may make erroneous

decisions and take incorrect actions, because the data set picture is

incomplete.

Applies to: Base System and Data Set Groups

Default: (9999)

Specify this parameter only if memory and auxiliary storage are very

limited, and you want to ensure that the DTOC itself never exceeds a

certain size. Specify a number (nnnnn) in Megabytes (for example, 500

means 500MB).

The default value is (09999) which allows over 26 million data sets to

be placed in the DTOC. The maximum value permitted is (25000) which

allows the DTOC to contain roughly 65 million data sets.

The value of this parameter is divided by the row length of the DTOC

objects to determine the maximum number of DTOC rows to build. If this

limit is reached, message VAN0490I is issued, and the build process

Default: (9999)


DTOCRDRS

Specifies the number of VTOC and VVDS readers that are to be used in

parallel when building the Last Interval DTOC. This level of

multithreading will be used. In general, this reduces the amount of

elapsed time to build the DTOCs. However, the benefit will vary and

depend upon the hardware resources at your installation as well as the

level of contention with other I/O at any point in time.


Range: 1 to 16

Default: (4)

multithreading will be used. In general, this reduces the amount of

elapsed time to build the DTOCs. However, the benefit will vary and

depend upon the hardware resources at your installation as well as the

level of contention with other I/O at any point in time.



Release Service DetailsNotice: 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.


Range: 1 to 16

Default: (4)


LSPACEAT

Volume and/or Pool interval scans invoke the IBM LSPACE service. LSPACE

can go into an indefinite lockout caused by either a long enqueue on

the volume or a hardware reserve on the device from another system. For

several years CA Vantage SRM has protected against these lockouts. IBM

APAR OW48527 now provides a more CPU efficient protection against

lockouts. CA Vantage SRM now defaults to using the IBM LSPACE lockout

protection. If the IBM APAR is not applied, or if new problems arise,

the LSPACEAT system parameter should be set to (Y) to reactivate the CA

Vantage SRM lockout protection.

Applies to: Base System, Volumes, Defrag, and Storage Groups

Default: (N)

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. None, 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



Release Service Detailssignificantly 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:

index is the list of pointers to all data set DSAB entries known to

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.

It should be changed to this:

An index is created for the system DTOC, with a direct pointer to

every data set on your system. As a result, it provides a high, broad,
