I/O Subsystems Architecture & Performance Analysis for z/OS
The class "I/O Subsystems Architecture & Performance Analysis for z/OS" is scheduled for October 15-18, 2007 in Baltimore. The class will be presented by Dr. Gilbert Houtekamer and Andries de Jong. The standard reference text on MVS I/O, "MVS I/O Subsystems", was written by Dr. Gilbert Houtekamer together with Dr. H. Pat Artis.
The class covers the Disk I/O subsystem architecture for z/OS. This includes all aspects of I/O from the fundamental hardware architecture to the implementations provided by the various vendors, and from the hardware measurement facilities to the interpretation of the RMF and SMF measurement information.
In the class you will learn how to configure your disk subsystems to best exploit their capabilities for your I/O workloads. We will discuss what RAID implementations are best for which I/O workloads, discussing the pro’s and con’s of RAID-10, RAID-5, RAID-6 implementations. We will discuss the copy services implementations from IBM, EMC and HDS in great detail, such that you will be able to plan and monitor copy services workloads.
The class will cover the many sources of I/O measurement information available in z/OS from SMF, DFSMS and RMF. An application and I/O tuning approach will be provided, helping you to make the choices that are relevant for your workload.
