DSECT NAME - IODDEV FUNCTION - Map a Monitor record. LOCATED BY - Through the Monitor Control Area REFERENCED CONTROL BLOCKS - MRRECHDR Monitor Record Header NAME - MRIODDEV DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Sample Record Domain 6 - I/O Domain Record 3 - Device Activity DESCRIPTION - Describes I/O activities of a real device. A separate record is generated for each online device that is enabled for monitoring. NOTES: - Fields labeled by the prefix, 'IODDEV_HF', are high-frequency counters. - When a virtual machine owning the device uses SIE ASSIST, CP does not handle the normal I/O and cannot update the RDEV counters. Therefore, for a device that had been in SIE ASSIST, some RDEV or high-frequency counters may not correctly reflect real device activity. - "SCM Facility Data." Data obtained from the Subchannel Management Facility. Not valid if the device was in SIE ASSIST and the V=R specifies that an Alternate Measurement Block is to be used. (Note: this data will always be valid for a 370 V=R guest since VM/370 does not support Alternate Measurement Block) - "SIE ASSIST Activity Data." This data indicates how often and for how long the device had been in each respective state. There may be situations that would cause the device to be pulled out of SIE ASSIST and later put back in it. Some devices may take longer than others to get out of SIE ASSIST. This can degrade the performance of the preferred guest. SIE ASSIST Activity Data is valid only for devices that are eligible for SIE ASSIST, indicated by IODDEV_VDEVIOP1. A SIE Assisted (I/O Assisted) device must be in one of three states: OUT, IN, LEAVING assist. For each state a count of transitions into the state and a count of accumulated time in the state are kept. However, since the time accumulator can only be updated when a device changes states, the accumulators reported in this monitor record (IODDEV_VIUTIMOT, IODDEV_VIUTIMIN, and IODDEV_VIUTIMLV) do not include time for the state the device is in when the monitor record is created. To determine the unassigned time, calculate the delta of the MRHDRTOD and IODDEV_VIUSTAMP. This delta should be converted to microseconds and then added to the accumulator for the state indicated by the IODDEV_VIUSTATE field.
