Media Volume Threshold Report (QP1AVOL)
Use the PRTMEDBRM TYPE(*THRESHOLD) command to produce the Media Volume Threshold report. The Media Volume Threshold report compares actual volume threshold information against standard threshold information to alert you to any potential errors in your media. Each media class is evaluated separately with summary statistics at the end of each report. You have the option of printing only exceptions, or all volumes with exceptions.
The following should be noted
about this report:
- Read, write, and usage error thresholds are numbers that you should obtain from media manufacturers. The thresholds will vary widely between media classes.
- BRMS also keeps the last cleaning date and the number of uses since the volume was cleaned.
- The "*" to the right of the Expiration date field indicates that the volume has expired. The "E" indicates the volume is in error status and the 'I' indicates the volume requires initialization.
- The Exception detail field indicates the type of (if any)
exception which has occurred. These are listed below the listed volumes
for the media class. Possible values are:
- *1 - No media class found for volume.
- *2 - Media has exceeded use count.
- *3 - Read error threshold has been exceeded.
- *4 - Write error threshold has been exceeded.
- *6 - Reorder point has been reached for this class.
