Chapter 1. The IBM RAMAC Virtual Array In this chapter we describe the RAMAC Virtual Array (RVA) and the support that VSE/ESA delivers for it. 1. 1 What Is an IBM RAMAC Virtual Array? We explain functions here on a level that is needed to understand how data is stored and organized on an RVA. If you would like more detailed descriptions of this int[...]

The functional track directory (FTD) is the collective name for two tables that together map each functional track to an area in the RVA ′ s physical storage: − Functional track table The functional track table (FTT) contains the host-related pointers, that is, the functional-device-related track pointers of the FTD. − Track number table The [...]

1.2 VSE/ESA Support for the RVA The RVA has been supported by VSE/ESA since its introduction. Because the RVA presents itself as logical 3380 or 3390 direct access storage devices (DASD) attached to a logical 3990 Model 3 storage control, releases of VSE/ESA supporting this logical environment have functioned with the RVA. However, until now, VSE/E[...]

Figure 2. Data Snapping. SnapShot creates a logical copy by copying the F TD pointers. Only when either the original or the copied track is updated is its associated FTD pointer changed to point to the new data location. The other FTD pointer remains unchanged. Additional space is needed in this case. As long as there is a pointer to a data block i[...]

1.2.3.2 Reporting Functions The IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA reporting functiion displays logical volume utilization, such as space allocated and data stored on the volume. It can also display a summary of the entire subsystem and its NCL, freespace, capacity allocated and used, and the compression and compaction ratio. For the capacity management fun[...]

Chapter 2. RVA Benefits for VSE/ESA In this chapter we describe how VSE/ESA ′ s support for the RVA assists in managing storage, affects batch window characteristics, improves application development, and increases the availability of data to the applications running on the host system. 2. 1 RVA Simplifies Your Storage Management The RVA virtual [...]

disk architecture, for the same physical space. Thus you can spread data over more volumes to improve performance and data availability of the subsystem. The hardware design of the RVA allows you to upgrade physical disk space to 726 GB without any subsystem outage time and without any change to the logical device configuration. Cache upgrades are [...]

2.2.1 RAMAC Virtual Array The RVA ′ s virtual disk architecture enables performance improvement in batch processing. This new architecture, coupled with data compression and self-tuning capabilities, improves disk capacity utilization. Data from all logical volumes is written across all the physical disks the array. Automatic load balancing acros[...]

• Report generation A large part of batch processing is often dedicated to generating output reports from production data. Often read access only is required by the applications. SnapShot can be used to decrease the contention of multiple read jobs accessing the same data set by replicating critical files and allowing parallel access to multiple [...]

All necessary repair actions due to a hardware failure are performed concurrently with customer operation. With the RVA, data availability is also maintained during upgrades. Upgrading disk arrays or cache size can be done concurrently with subsystem operation, without impact or performance degradation. 2.4.2 SnapShot With SnapShot you can make a c[...]

Chapter 3. VSE/ESA Support for the RVA In this chapter we cover several utilities and the VSE/ESA Base Programs that support the RVA. 3.1 Prerequisites The RVA has been supported since VSE/ESA Version 1.4 and RVA microcode level of LIC 03.00.00 or higher. An equivalent microcode level is required for the StorageTek Iceberg 9200. To use IXFP/SnapSho[...]

3.2 Volumes With VSE/ESA and the RVA, the subsystem volumes can be defined in different emulation modes. This makes the RVA absolutely adaptable to your needs. The following device type emulations are supported with the RVA: • 3380 model J, K, and KE (KE is a 3380K compatible device with the same number of cylinders (1770) as a 3380E). • 3390 m[...]

3 .4 ICKDSF Once the 9393 is installed and the functional devices are defined on the operator panel (see Appendix A, “RVA Functional Device Configuration” on page 41) the only initialization needed for the RVA functional devices is a minimal init, ICKDSF INIT, with the additional parameters needed to define the VOLID and the volume table of con[...]

Chapter 4. IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA is a combination of software and RVA microcode functions. It has three main functions, namely, SnapShot, DDSR, and Report. SnapShot is the data duplication utility that exploits the RVA ′ s virtual disk architecture to achieve instantaneous copy without actually using resources. DDSR [...]

2. From a batch job You can code the function you want to invoke in the PARM field of the VSE-provided DTRIATTN module and submit the batch job for execution. Figure 7 illustrates the report function (IXFP REPORT) being invoked by a batch job using DTRIATTN. // JOB jobname // log // EXEC DTRIATTN,PARM= ′ IXFP REPORT ′ /& Figure 7. Sample Ba[...]

4.1.2 A Range of Cylinders You copy a range of cylinders by identifying the device address or VOL1 label of the source and target in the IXFP SNAP command. In addition, the decimal start cylinder (scyl) and end cylinder (-scyl) or number of cylinders (,ncyl) are specified in parentheses and appended to the source specification. Optionally, the targ[...]

The source and the target device must be of the same type and must be within the same RVA subsystem. (If you are using test partitions, the source and the target must also be in the same partition.) 4.1.3 A Non-VSAM File You copy a file by indicating the data set name on the source device, using the DSN= (data set name) parameter, in addition to id[...]

4 .2 IXFP DDSR DDSR identifies this command as a DDSR function. DDSR causes the release of the physical storage space associated with: • Expired files • A total volume • A range of cylinders • A specified file This function ensures that all space releases done on the VSE system (normally through deletes) result in space releases in the RVA [...]

Notes: When you do DDSR for expired files, VSE performs checking on the online (up) units. DDSR checks only those RVA devices managed by the VSE system. DDSR considers only the files created by VSE. 4.2.2 A Total Volume It is possible to delete and release space for an entire volume when you include the device address or VOLID label with no other o[...]

The NOPROMPT parameter is included to prevent decision-type messages from being issued. Otherwise, decision-type messages are issued for the operator to verify and confirm (similar to Figure 16). Notes: The device should belong to the RVA subsystem managed by the VSE system. The device should be in the offline (DVCDN) condition. The highest (end) c[...]

Chapter 5. Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy In this chapter we describe the VSE/ESA support for the RVA and the PPRC. As part of the continuing effort to meet customer requirements for 24-hour 7-day availability, the RVA Model T82 provides remote copy for disaster and critical volume protection. PPRC is supported by OS/390, VSE/ESA, and VM/ESA. PPRC comple[...]

Figure 20 on page 34 shows the data flow between the host and the two RVAs. This would be the sequence of a write operation to the primary RVA: 1 . Th e host application issues a write request to a file, a nd t he VSE/ESA supervisor converts the request to a start subchannel request to the RVA. The RVA receives the request, compresses the data as i[...]

5. 2 PPRC Hardware Requirements The hardware requirements for both the primary and secondary RVAs to support PPRC are: • RVA Model T82 • Feature code 7001 • PPRC-enabling LIC (LIC level T04.05.xx is the minimum level) • Remote Service capability Note: We recommend that 4 GB of cache be installed on the RVAs to maximize performance. W e also[...]

5.4 SnapShot Considerations The RVA provides the unique ability to combine SnapShot functions with PPRC functions. There are some considerations regarding the interaction of SnapShot with volumes that are part of a PPRC pair. You cannot use SnapShot to copy data onto any volume that is part of a PPRC pair. SnapShot requires that addresses be availa[...]

NOPROMPT Prevents decision-type messages from being issued. Some messages require an operator reply before the specified function is initiated. The specification of the NOPROMPT keyword causes the system to bypass this decision-type message and initiates the function without any additional notice.

Appendix C. VSE/VSAM Considerations VSE/VSAM support is not included in IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA. This does not mean however that you cannot take advantage of IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA with VSE/VSAM data sets. It does mean that there is no support in IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA to dynamically adjust the VSAM catalog to reflect the target of the Snap[...]

Warning This approach may not work with VSAM files that specify share options 2 or 4 . The reason for the problem here is that, with SHROPTN(2), or SHROPTN(4), VSE/VSAM ′ s method of enqueuing the file (to protect it during a write) uses the file ID of the VSAM catalog and the volume serial number of the volume. Notes: Share option 2 provides tha[...]

LPAR to a test LPAR. We would quiesce the files as above. And we would also make the SnapShot copy. But, this time, the volume serial number of the source would be retained on the target. Because the target volume for a SNAP copy is always in a DVCDN condition, the duplicate volume serial number would not interfere with the production system. The t[...]
