NAME - MRSEKSEK
DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Event Record
Domain 7 - Seek Domain
Record 1 - Seek Data
DESCRIPTION - Record of access arm movement ("Seek I/O") on a DASD
device or of a set paging parameter to a cache device.
Generated each time an I/O channel program containing
seek commands(s) is executed.
This record contains seek data that may enable a
user, such as an operating system developer, to tune
DASD seek scheduling algorithms. This record is NOT
intended for DASD load balancing. However, it can be
used to tune a cached minidisk to minimize the number
of tracks that must be cached.
NOTES:
-- Because of the frequency of seek I/O operations, an extremely
large number of this record will be generated. For this
reason, seek-domain monitoring should be limited to specific
devices or a specific set of devices.
-- The order in which the records are generated may not be the
order in which the commands are executed by the device.
-- The seek may not be executed by a device when there is a
permanent device error or when branching is done in the channel
program which bypasses segments.
