Shared DASD Devices Workspace

The Shared DASD Devices workspace displays information about the activity of the shared devices for a group, averaged over all systems in the sysplex. Use the information to help determine how equitably a device is serving all systems in the sysplex.

The Shared DASD Devices table shows information for each device, such as control unit and device type, volume serial number, and statistics such as the device contention index or system with the worst response time or worst disconnect time.

Bar charts graphically display the true busy value and the device contention index for all devices.

You link to this workspace from the Shared DASD Groups Data for Sysplex workspace. From this workspace you can link to a workspace that displays information about the systems that share a selected device.
