Process and Report SMF 241 Records (HSM)

Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) generates SMF Type 241 records which contain detailed data about the migrations and recalls of datasets.  In many environments, there is a large amount of HSM activity that contributes to the overall CPU utilization.  Significant portions of that activity might be unnecessary and the ability to view and tune based on those records would be a helpful extension of Intellimagic Vision.  There are several good fields available in the TYPE 241 but the most important ones are:

  • SYSTEM 
  • SMFTIME 
  • FSRAGE 
  • FSRBYTR 
  • FSRBYTW    
  • FSRCPUTM 
  • FSRDLUD 
  • FSRDSN
  • FSRJOB 
  • FSRTYPE 
  • FSRUID
  • FSRUSER 
  • FSRTSO
