Remote copy by Cnt Ac-J and Cnt Ac-J Z (at volumes controlled by a particular CU)
The following table shows the file names and types of information in the Usage Monitor tab in the
Cnt Ac-J and Cnt Ac-J Z window that can be exported to files using the Export Tool. These files
contain statistics about remote copy operations (at volumes controlled by a particular CU) by
Continuous Access Journal and Continuous Access Journal Z.

The number of write I/Os per second
URLDEV_Write_Record_xx.csv
URLDEV_Write_Record.zip
The number of write hit records per
second
URLDEV_Write_Hit_xx.csv
URLDEV_Write_Hit.zip
The amount of data that are read per
second (KB/sec)
URLDEV_Read_Transfer_xx.csv
URLDEV_Read_Transfer.zip
The amount of data that are written per
second (KB/sec)
URLDEV_Write_Transfer_xx.csv
URLDEV_Write_Transfer.zip
The initial copy hit rate (percent)
URLDEV_Initial_Copy_Hit_xx.csv
URLDEV_Initial_Copy_Hit.zip
The average transfer rate (KB/sec) for
initial copy operations

URLDEV_Initial_Copy_Transfer.zip
Note: The letters "xx" in CSV filenames indicate a CU image number. For example, if the filename is
URLDEV_Read_Record_10.csv
, the file contains the number of read I/Os (per second) of the volumes controlled
by the CU whose image number is 10.
Causes of Invalid Monitoring Data
If the value of monitoring data in CSV files is less than 0 (zero), consider the following causes:
Probable causes
Invalid values of monitoring
data
The value "-1" indicates that Performance Monitor failed to obtain monitoring data.
Probable reasons are:
The monitoring data in the CSV
file includes "-1."
•
Performance Monitor attempted to obtain statistics when an operation for rebooting
the disk array is in progress.
•
Performance Monitor attempted to obtain statistics when a heavy workload is
imposed on the disk array.
•
There is no volume in a parity group.
•
Just after the CUs to be monitored were added, the Export Tool failed to save files
that contain monitoring data for all volumes or journal volumes used by remote
copy software (i.e., Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access
Synchronous Z, Continuous Access Journal, or Continuous Access Journal Z). For
details about the files, see

•
If Disable is selected to stop monitoring in the Monitoring Switch field on the
Monitoring Options window and longrange is specified as the gathering interval,
