Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

SnapVX can monitor the used capacity of the storage resource pool (SRP) the link target device is in. SnapVX displays an informational, warning, or error message when the user-defined capacity limit is exceeded.

To set up SRP capacity monitoring, use the SRP_PERCENT parameter of the GLOBAL command. You can specify the SRP used capacity threshold and select the severity level of the message to be displayed.

SRP summary information is displayed when SRP capacity monitoring is enabled, for example:

ESNP1L0I SRP# 000 USAGE INFORMATION FOR CUU:6400 SER#:000123456789
MHOP:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
ESNP1L0I CAPACITY/USED TRKS:196761600/7596656 SRP % USED TOT/CKD/FBA:3%/4%/0% SNAPSHOT
TRKS:193764 RESRVD CAP:10%

When the SRP is above the set capacity limit, a message similar to the following is displayed:

ESNP03GW TARGET SRP# 00000102 IS 40% FULL

If SRP processing is not required, you can skip it by specifying the SKIP option. When SKIP is specified, no SRP information is obtained or displayed.
