RMF
IntelliMagic Vision processes RMF data originating from one or more z/OS servers to extract and consolidate configuration and I/O load data by physical Disk Subsystem. The result is a disk-centric view of Disk Subsystem I/O load and performance, regardless of the number of servers or Parallel Sysplexes they are attached to. With IntelliMagic Vision there is no need to manually consolidate printed RMF reports. IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS works with RMF and CMF data. It supports the 74.8 records with Link (Port) and Rank (Array Group) information, as well as 74.1 and 78.3 HyperPAV RMF fields. SMF 42 Subtype 5 and 6 records are supported for data set analysis
IntelliMagic Vision can run as a batch job on z/OS or a Windows PC. In the first step, the RMF information is compacted by a factor 12 to 1. This reduction in data volume is essential in making interactive data analysis a realistic option.
The final stage of the analysis is interactive, and always takes place on the PC, interfacing to Microsoft Excel. IntelliMagic Vision features an easy to use graphical interfaces. The Run Control Center facilitates the preparation and submission of batch processes when running these on a PC. The Reporter Control Center allows for interactive data analysis and is designed to keep the analyst focused on the problem at hand rather than on the technicalities of writing data base queries or controlling Excel.
The graphical output format lets you find hotspots and tuning opportunities quickly. Using the graphs, you can easily see the difference between recurring I/O load peaks and performance anomalies.
By just pushing a button, all charts created in a study can be exported to PowerPoint, thus providing for an easy way to document a study.
