6.7 RMF support for zFS
In addition to the zFS performance monitoring APIs in z/OS V1R7, RMF support has been
added for zFS.
When looking at zFS performance, you have to consider the zFS components that are
involved in I/O processing to or from a zFS file system. The performance of zFS can be
influenced by controlling the size of the caches used to hold file system and log data.
There are new zFS summary and activity reports which provide data on:
zFS response times and wait times
zFS cache activity
zFS activity and capacity by aggregate
zFS activity and capacity by filesystem
This data helps to control the zFS environment according to:
Cache sizes
I/O balancing
Capacity control for zFS aggregates ...
