Collection Services data files: QAPMIOPD

This database file lists the fields in the IOP extended data file.

Data is reported for the Network Server (*IPCS category) and I/O adapters (*IOPBASE category). Network server data includes Integrated xSeries Server data and virtual I/O data. Virtual I/O data consists of one record for each virtual device in use. If Network Server is associated with a Network Server Host Adapter, virtual device might have more than one record reported per interval--one record for each Network Server Host Adapter, used by this virtual device. If concurrent maintenance is done (adding or removing hardware under an IOP), the user should cycle the collector to insure that I/O adapter data is reported correctly.

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. For operating system data (data type 2), this value might not be the same as the change in the interval date and time (DTETIM) for the interval because the elapsed interval time comes directly from the Integrated xSeries Server . PD (7,0)
IOPRN IOP resource name. C(10)
XIIOP Reserved C (1)
XITYPE The type of IOP represented by this record. C (4)
XIDTYP Data type:
  • 1 -- Reserved
  • 2 -- OS/2 or other operating system (*IPCS category)
  • 3 -- HPF386 (*IPCS category)
  • 4 -- LAN Server (*IPCS category)
  • 5 -- Virtual I/O (*IPCS category)
  • A -- I/O adapter (*IOPBASE category)

XIADRN Adapter resource name: If the resource reported is an adapter, then this field will contain the resource name of that adapter. If the resource reported is an IOP, then this field will contain the resource name of that IOP. C (10)
XINWSD Network server description name (blanks are reported if a network server description (NWSD) name is not applicable). C (10)
XINWSH Network server host adapter name (blanks are reported if a network server host adapter (NWSH) name is not applicable. C (10)
Note:

The following chart shows the types of counters used.

D (Delta counter): Number of occurrences in the interval (what most performance counters are).

S (State counter): The value at the time of collection or the maximum value during the interval.

XIDTYP = '1' (Reserved)
XIDTYP = '2' (OS/2 or other operating system)
Counter Description
(CTO1) D CPU time (milliseconds). This value is normalized to the range of a single processor for adapters that have multiple processors.
(CTO2) D Number of times threads rescheduled
(CTO3) D Number of interrupts
(CTO4) D CPU time servicing interrupts (milliseconds)
(CTO5) D Number of page faults
(CTO6) D Number of pages swapped in
(CTO7) D Number of pages demand-loaded
(CTO8) D Number of pages swapped out
(CTO9) D Number of pages discarded
(CT10) D Number of idle pages recovered
(CT11) D Number of pages idled
(CT12) D Number of idle pages reassigned
(CT13) S Number of elements in free queue
(CT14) S Length of time elements in free queue (milliseconds)
(CT15) S Number of elements in used queue
(CT16) S Length of time elements in used queue (milliseconds)
XIDTYP = '3' (HPFS386)
XIDTYP = '4' (LAN server)
Record types 3 (HPFS386) and 4 (LAN server) refer to functions that are no longer supported.
XIDTYP = '5' (Virtual I/O)
Counter Description
(DTA1) S Type of a virtual device:
  • ' 1' = Adapter
  • ' 2' = Disk
  • ' 3' = Optical
  • ' 4' = Tape
(DTA2) S
  • Characters 1-10: Virtual device name. Note: For tape and optical devices this is the device resource name. For disk devices, this is the name of the network server storage space.
  • Characters 11-12: Reserved (blank).
(CTO1) D Read operations
(CTO2) D Write operations
(CTO3) D Other operations
(CTO4) D Operations resulting in an error

  • Characters 8-12: Reserved (blank)
(CT01) D: Adapter time: Total processing time used by adapter tasks that are running in the primary IOP processor. Adapter tasks support the adapter and its attached hardware. For some old IOPs such as the 6112, adapter times are not reported.
