Displaying SMAPP status

 

You can display many types of status for SMAPP.

You can use the Edit Recovery Access Path screen to view the following values for system-managed access-paths (SMAPP):

• The entire server.

• Basic and independent disk pools.

• Access paths not eligible for protection.

• Protected access paths.

Use the top part of the display to see the values for the entire server. Use the bottom part of the display to see the values for individual disk pools on the system. If you do not have basic or independent disk pools that are active, the bottom part of the display says No user ASP configured or information not available.

 

Estimated time for recovery

To see the number of minutes the system estimates it will need to recover most of the access paths, look at the Estimated recovery time for access paths field. The time is an estimated maximum, based on most circumstances. It assumes that the system is recovering access paths on a dedicated server (during a restart) and that all eligible access paths are being recovered or rebuilt. It does not include time to rebuild access paths that must be rebuilt for one of the following reasons:

• The access path is damaged.

• The access path was marked as not valid during a previous abnormal end and was not successfully rebuilt.

• One of the following commands marked the access path as not valid and was running when the system failed:

  • Copy File (CPYF), if the system chose to rebuild the access path for efficiency.

  • Reorganize Physical File Member (RGZPFM)

  • Restore Object (RSTOBJ)

If you have basic or independent disk pools, the estimated recovery time for access paths for the entire server (System access path recovery time field) might not equal the total estimated recovery time for the disk pools (Access Path Recovery Time-Estimated (Minutes)). When you restart the system or vary on an independent disk pool, the system overlaps processing when recovering access paths to reduce the total time it requires.

 

Disk space used

The Disk Storage Used field on the display shows the disk space that SMAPP uses only for internal system journals and journal receivers. It does not include any additional space in user-managed journal receivers for protecting access paths whose underlying physical files are already journaled.

 

Access paths not eligible

You can display all access paths that are not eligible for protection. To view access paths that are not eligible for protection, press F13. Access paths that are not eligible for access protection are as follows:

• Access paths built over physical files which are journaled to separate journals.

• Access paths built over a physical file which is journaled to a journal whose state is currently standby.

 

Protected access paths

You can also display up to 500 protected access paths by pressing F14. The system displays the access paths with the highest estimated recovery time first.

Use can also use the Display Recovery for Access Paths (DSPRCYAP) command to display or print the estimated recovery times and disk usage.
