RMF cache reporting and the results of a LISTDATA STATUS command report a cache size of 4,8, 12, 16, 32 GB and an NVS size of 1 GB — half the actual size. This is because the information returned represents only the cluster to which the logical control unit is attached. Ah, this is reminiscent of the 3880 caching control unit and its two cache halves. In order to know the total workload on any given device, you had to drive the CCWs to retrieve the cache storage totals and caching statistics down two different channel paths to the device, then add the two halves' values together. So the 2105's reporting software follows this same user-unfriendly philosophy. Sure, some people want to know what each cluster's size is. And many might want to know the totals for both without having to go through the manual step of addition or without having to build a simple SYSOUT scanner and adder program. Sounds a lot like "working as coded".
