DMX3/4 - SMF 74.8 Link/Rank stats

2008-01-15 Thread John Baker
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience getting 74.8 data out of a DMX3/4? The only requirements I am aware of is the 5775 'Enginuity' code and RMF option ESS enabled. I have both of these in place, but still no stats. Is there a setting required on the box (i.e. similar to an HDS 'mode'?)

As far as I can tell, that can't be done with any certainty. Problem is that IP addresses are often munged or 'translated' for network security reasons. You might get an IP address, but it may or may not be consistently associated to a specific device. Even if that is not the case, IP addresses

We are running DMX3 and as far as I can tell, it does not create these SMF records. If I find out it can be done I will update you. But at this time the RMF montior does not support EMC the same way it supports the IBM family of dasd. Lizette Hi all, Does anyone have any experience

Andy, IEANTRT is documented to NOT change registers R2-R13, so their slots in the passed savearea can be used to format the required parameter list. Especially since the TOKEN_NAME and TOKEN_VALUE fields can share the same storage: RT_TOKEN_NAME DS 0XL16

Thanks Lizette, Sorry I had a typo in my original post. The code level is 5772. The information I had with this code level indicated that these functions would be supported. I'm not aware of any RMF requirements as they work fine with HDS subsystems. Thanks again, JB
