Monitoring Statistics

One important task when monitoring the system is verifying that the system is running

at expected capacity. The SCF STATS command allows you to monitor the following

statistics:

•

Number of processes running currently, and the maximum number running since the

last reset of the counters

•

Number of subsystem register requests received, succeeded, and failed

•

Number of open and request control blocks for a process currently in use, and the

maximum number in use since the last reset of the counters

•

Number of each type of file-system request issued by a process

•

Number of application protocol data units (APDUs) sent and received through a

subdevice

Resetting Statistics Counters

You can use the STATS command with the RESET option to reset all the statistics

counters collecting data on the SUBSYS, PROCESS, or SU objects. The STATS

command issued with the RESET option is a sensitive command.

The STATS PROCESS command with the RESET option displays the counters before

they are reset to 0. To see the cleared counters, you must issue a second STATS

PROCESS command. However, because that second command causes a call to

DEVICEINFO and WRITEREAD, the corresponding counters will read 1 instead of 0.

To reset the counters used to gather information on the FTAM initiator named $FTI1,

issue the STATS command with the RESET option as shown in this example:

STATS PROCESS $FTI1, RESET

This command resets the counter fields and records the reset time as the time at which

you issued the command.

Note. The STATS PROCESS command with the RESET option displays the counters before

they are reset to 0. To see the cleared counters, you must issue a second STATS PROCESS

command. However, because that second command causes a call to Device Info and Write

Read, those counters will read 1 instead of 0.
