Troubleshooting
Problem
When importing IO statistics from SVC / Storwize systems such as SVC, V3700, V5000, V7000, and V840, several database files are produced. One of these files is QSVCPORT which contains IO statistics at the port level. QMGTOOLS/SVCIMPORT creates the files.
Symptom
SVC / Storwize performance analysis from IBM i.

This database file contains statistics at the Port level that have been imported from the XML files collected from SVC / Storwize systems. QMGTOOLS/SVCIMPORT creates this file. Where statistics in the XML files are counters, deltas between intervals have been computed for this database file. Detailed descriptions of the corresponding XML fields are available at the link below. When possible, the same, or similar, field names have been used in the database file:
