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.
