Collection Services data files: QAPMDIOP

This database file contains storage device (disk) IOP file entries.

It lists the fields in the storage device IOP file. Consider the following information in these fields:

  • Device means disk.
  • The idle loop count and time are used to calculate the storage device controller IOP utilization as follows:

    Convert the product of the idle loop count times the idle loop time from hundredths of microseconds to seconds. Subtract this from the interval time, and divide the result by the interval time. For example:

    IOP Utilization = (INTSEC - (DIIDLC * DIIDLT)/10**8)/INTSEC

Field Name Description Attribute
INTNUM Interval number: The nth sample database interval based on the start time specified in the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command. PD (5,0)
DTETIM Interval date (yymmdd) and time (hhmmss): The date and time of the sample interval. C (12)
INTSEC Elapsed interval seconds: The number of seconds since the last sample interval. PD (7,0)
IOPRN IOP resource name. C (10)
DIIOP Reserved C (1)
DITYPE IOP type. C (4)
DIIDLC Idle loop count: The number of times the disk controller IOP ran an idle loop. This is done when the IOP has no work to perform. This count is used with the idle loop time. PD (11,0)
DIIDLT Idle loop time: The time (in hundredths of microseconds) to run the idle loop once. PD (11,0)
DITPDK Total packets transferred. PD (11,0)
DIKBYO Total KB transmitted from the IOP to the system across the bus. PD (11,0)
DIKBYI Total KB transmitted to the IOP from the system across the bus. PD (11,0)
DIOPSR OPSTART bus unit message received from another bus unit using normal flow. PD (11,0)
DIOPSS OPSTART bus unit message received from another bus unit using reverse flow method 2 (always 0). PD (11,0)
DISGLR Signals received. PD (11,0)
DIOPST OPSTARTs sent. PD (11,0)
DISGLS Signals sent. PD (11,0)
DIRSTQ Restart queues sent. PD (11,0)
DIRQDO DMA requests sent for output of data: The number of requests the IOP sends to the system for data to be sent from the IOP to the system across the bus. PD (11,0)
DIRQDI DMA requests sent for input of data: The number of requests the IOP sends to the system for data to be sent to the IOP from the system across the bus. PD (11,0)

Note: The performance monitor reports I/O processor (IOP) statistics different beginning with Version 3 Release 7. Therefore, performance statistics for IOPs introduced in Version 3 Release 7 or later releases are reported in the QAPMMIOP file. Performance statistics are reported in the QAPMMIOP file even if the IOP supports only one of the three IOP functions (communications, disk, or local workstation). Performance statistics for IOPs that were introduced before Version 3 Release 7 will continue to be reported in the appropriate IOP file (QAPMCIOP, QAPMDIOP, QAPMLIOP, and QAPMMIOP).
