Hi, I've been allowed 1 day a week to start I/O performance monitoring/tuning for a large multinational who has a capacity and performance team but who do not respond to I/O performance problems.
I'm looking for someone who can spend 5-10 minutes a week to help with setting the monitoring for the production sysplex. There are a further 6 sysplexes to be setup but I figure that once I've setup the first one, I can setup the remainder on my own. With just 1 day per week, it will be a fairly slow process but better 1 day a week than none. We run ESS and HDS dasd and have no I/O performance problems to speak of as yet. The person who used to fulfill this role left 18months ago and nothing has been done since. My background is ex-sysprog/data storage admin (5 years out playing poker/golf) so i'm aware of I/O control blocks and how I/O moves through the system and what the RMF reports are telling me (I use MON3 fairly regularly and used RMF a great deal in my previous mainframe life - The problem is, it was already setup and I knew where to look). I need to start this from scratch so could do with some help in the short term to start/setup RMF trend analysis for my site. I've had my head stuck in RMF manuals for the past couple of weeks so have an idea of where i need to go, it's just the first few steps that are losing me. How do you start the longterm monitoring? Either direct to my/your email or via the list would be fine if anyone can spare the time. A large bottle of single malt (or alternative of your choice) and my undying gratitude is the sweetner(if you are happy to supply an address). I'm more than happy to ship it anywhere in the world.
