MICS Support for z16 SMF Type 113 Records

Products

• MICS Resource Management

Issue/Introduction

Support is required for the Version 7 counter values in the SMF type
113 subtypes 1 and 2 records created by z/OS LPARs running on IBM z16
Central Processing Complexes (CPCs), in the following files in the MICS
Hardware and SCP Analyzer (RMF) component:

FILES:  HARCME - CPU Measurement Facility Engine File
             HARCMT - CPU Measurement Facility EngType File
              HARCML - CPU Measurement Facility LPAR File

Additionally, updates are required so that the sp.GENLIB(RMFGENIN)
OPTION statement HIS keyword supports "z16" as a valid CPC identifier,
and that use of the "+" modifier on an earlier CPC, for example
HIS(z13+) or HIS(z14+) results in the inclusion of z16 specific data
elements in the HARCME, HARCML, and HARCMT files.

SYMPTOMS
When SMF type 113 records, generated by a z/OS LPAR running on an
IBM z16 CPC, are present in the //INPUTSMF data file, the following
messages are found in the DAY020 or INCR020 MICSLOG:

  RMF00120W SMF 113 records deleted from unknown CPC models.
  RMF00120W Note: Only first 100 SYSIDs listed.
  RMF00120W
  RMF00120W                                  Unknown      113-1    113-2      Total 
  RMF00120W  ORGSYS  SYSID   CPC Model  Deletes  Deletes  Deletes
  RMF00120W   ------          ------      ----------------  -------     ----------- -------  
  RMF00121W  SYSx         SYSp          3931        nnn       nnn        nnnn

Additionally, if "z16" is specified as a CPC type argument for the
sp.GENLIB(RMFGENIN) OPTION statement HIS keyword, execution of the
component generator job, sp.CNTL(RMFCGEN) fails with an U0998 ABEND
and the following MICSLOG messages:

  RMF00600I    OPTION  HIS(z16)
  RMF00603E RMFGENIN OPTION HIS() PARM ERROR detected
  RMF00604E -- Invalid CPC listed in HIS(string): z16
  BAS20990I CURRENT LINE:  OPTION  HIS(z16)
  BAS20991E RMFCGEN option errors encountered.  RMFCGEN aborted.

RMF7180 - IBM CPU Measurement Facility Support for z16 SMF Type 113 Records

 

Additional Information

All CPU Measurement Facility data is rejected for z/OS LPARs running
on IBM z16 CPCs, resulting in no z16 Hardware Instrumentation Services
(HIS) information in the HARCME, HARCMT, or HARCML files. Additionally
"z16" cannot be specified as a CPU type for the sp.GENLIB(RMFGENIN)
OPTION statement HIS keyword.
