Verify Tape Drives (If Necessary)
You can use SCF commands or OSM to obtain status information about a tape drive. Check that
the tape drive is online before continuing with installing SPRs, RVUs, or RVURs. Note that OSM
does not test tape libraries.
1. Enter the SCF STATUS TAPE command:
> SCF STATUS TAPE $*
2. Verify that the STATUS TAPE display includes a least one tape drive configured and running,
as shown:
STORAGE - Status TAPE $T0150
LDev State Sub State Primary Backup Device Status
PID PID
71 STARTED UP 0,282 1,273 READY
3. Use the SCF STATUS TAPE, DETAIL command to display the current state of the tape drive.
4. If the status of the tape drive is stopped or not ready, start the tape drive and put the tape
drive online.
Check the Status of the Spooler Collector
Check that the spooler collector is active and not 100 percent full.
At a TACL prompt, start SPOOLCOM and issue a COLLECT, STATUS command. For example:
1> spoolcom $spls; collect, status
COLLECT STATE FLAGS CPU PRI UNIT DATA FILE %FULL
$S ACTIVE 3 , 1 154 4 $OPS0.SPL.DATA 44
Check for Sufficient Swap File Space
You must ensure that you have configured kernel-managed swap files of sufficient size for all
your system and application software processes. The optimal amount of swap space varies,
depending on the configuration of your system. You must be a super-group user (255, n) in order
to change the KMSF configuration by adding, altering, stopping, or deleting swap space. Only
one super-group user at a time can use NSKCOM to change the configuration.
KMSF swap files need to be larger than in G-series RVUs. The best practice is to monitor swap
file usage. See the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual for information on configuring
swap file space.
To check the size of the configured swap files for each processor:
