StorageTek 6 manual Single-HostEnvironment, Multi-HostEnvironment

operations that do result in an error, only those that requested robotic motions are logged as hard fails with the appropriate indicator set in the record. Errors that do not represent failed robotic motions are software errors. These should be analyzed and reported to StorageTek.

Single-Host Environment

In a single-host environment, there is only one SYS1.LOGREC data set and only one copy of the HSC. In such an environment, everything is straightforward and easy to manage.

Recommended procedures in this environment are:

•Offload SYS1.LOGREC to a history data set, and

•Follow Computer Associates’ CA-9/R+ Installation Instructions.

The extracted data for the reporting period may then be sent to the reliability measuring service for inclusion in their industry-wide report.

Multi-Host Environment

Data are interpreted differently in a multi-host environment than in a single-host environment. For this reason more explanation is necessary.

Since the LMU counts robotic motions started and temporary errors by LSM and not by host, when any host requests ACS statistics from an LMU, the data that is written to SYS1.LOGREC in an LLG6 record represents the total robotic motions started and temporary errors that occurred on each LSM since the last time that any R+ host requested ACS statistics from the LMU. The robotic motions started by all hosts are consolidated into one LLG6 record.

However, the robotic motions that end in a hard fail that are reported in LLG1 records are only logged to the SYS1.LOGREC of the R+ host that experienced the hard fail. Software failures are similarly logged only by the host that experienced the failure (an LLG1 record without the ‘‘hard fail’’ indicator).

Follow Computer Associates’ published procedures for extracting data from all R+ hosts from the LOGREC history tapes and send the extracted data for the reporting period to the reliability measuring service for inclusion in their industry-wide report.
