Collection Services data files: QAPMSMDSK

This database file contains summarized metrics from disk data (*DISK collection category) that may be used in support of system monitoring.

These metrics are calculated from more discrete data found in the QAPMDISK and QAPMDISKRB files. The breakdown dimension identifies a grouping of disk units for which data is provided. One record is written per database interval per breakdown dimension.

Field Name Description Attribute
INTNUM Interval number. The nth sample database interval based on the start time specified in the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command. PD (5,0)
DATETIME Interval date and time. The date and time of the sample interval, expressed in local system time. Timestamp
INTSEC Elapsed interval seconds. The number of seconds since the last sample interval. PD (7,0)
SMDBDD Disk breakdown dimension. Identifies which disk units were used to calculate the data contained in this record.
  • '01' - All disk units
  • '02' - Disk units in the system ASP
  • '03' - Disk units in user ASPs
  • '04' - Disk units in Independent ASPs
