Catalog Files

Catalog Files

Each SMF process uses its own catalog, which is a group of files enabled by TMF
containing persistent configuration and status information needed for process start up
and execution. When you start a process for the first time, three catalog files are set
up, the $ZSMS catalog, the storage pool process catalog, and the virtual disk process
catalog.

$ZSMS Catalog

Five files make up the $ZSMS catalog:

DISKTHRESHOLD

DISKTHRESHOLD

Specifies a threshold at which the disk
processes associated with physical
volumes in the storage pool should emit
an EMS disk full event.

DISKINTERVAL

DISKINTERVAL

Specifies a percent interval at which disk
full events should be generated after the
DISKTHRESHOLD value has been
reached.

EXTENTTHRESHOLD

EXTENTTHRESHOLD

Specifies a threshold at which the disk
processes associated with physical
volumes in the storage pool should emit
an EMS file full event.

EXTENTINTERVAL

EXTENTINTERVAL

Specifies an extent interval at which file
full events should be generated after the
EXTENTTHRESHOLD value has been
reached.

Virtual disk process attribute set:

STARTDOWN

STARTSTATE

Specifies if the execution state of the
virtual disk process should be set to UP
or DOWN when the process is started.
This is useful if you are trying to
diagnose a problem and do not want
processes to start automatically, or if you
have a large SMF configuration and want
to bring up parts of it separately.

CACHESIZE

CACHESIZE

Specifies the number of file mappings in
the SMF name cache. In some cases,
this can be used to improve file open
performance. See

VDP and File System

Caches

on page 2-4.

IDENTITY

Contains the name of the process that created the catalog.
