STRGMIRSTS

STRGMIRSTS Command

This command begins the processing of monitoring and storing global mirror replication statistics (for DS8000-type storage).

This command supports multiple CSE environments on the same partition, in the same or separate output files.  The command is valid for both IASP-based and full system-based environments for DS8000-type global mirror.

Variations of the showgmir DSCLI command are utilized to gather global mirror replication statistics.  These statistics are stored in the file specified on the command.

Note:  This command should be executed in a batch job for continuous monitoring.

Parameters

ENV                     - Name of the CSE environment.  This must be a valid DS8000-based GMIR environment in either QZRDHASM or QZRDIASH5 library.

INTERVAL          - Time (in minutes) between samples.  This can be any value between 1 and 1440 (24 hours).  The default value is 15.

OUTF                   - The database file and library to which the output is directed.  If the file does not exist, the file is created in the library specified.  The default value is QZRDPWRHA/GMIRSTS

CLEAR                - Specifies whether or not to clear previously collected data. (*NO=do not clear previously collected statistics; *YES=clear previously collected statistics).  The default value is *NO.

THRESHOLD     - Specifies the number of seconds the calculated recovery point must exceed to trigger a warning message.  If triggered, message GMS1011 will be sent to the specified message queue.

                                 Values may be between 1 and 86400 (24 hours).  The default value is 900 (15 minutes).

MSGQ                  - The message queue and library to which the "recovery point threshold exceeded" warning message is sent.  The default value is QSYS/QSYSOPR.

Note:  Any message sent to QSYSOPR will also send a message to QHST (history log)

Note:  For builds of Smart Assist after 7/26/17, the STRGMIRSTS command will point to program STRGMIR42, to be compatible with IASP Manager 4.2 (and above), which utilizes a credentials list for log-in to the storage.  The command can be changed to point to the older program, STRGMIRSTS, if any issues/concerns exist in using the newer program.
