HSCLOAD010, system management, HSC and HSJ disk load balancing tool HSCLOAD010 is a useful tool for system managers concerned with the performance impact of data channel contention on HSC's and cache imbalances on HSJ's. This tool uses a list of how disks are cabled (which CAN be obtained from HSC's during the install) and the actual disk usage obtained from DECps or F$GETDVI to determine the optimal loading given the wiring constraints. This information can be used to perform either manual loading or automatic loading using PREFER. Reports that are produced include a list of disks sorted by actual i/o's performed and a list of HSC requestors showing the number of disks connected and the before/after effects of load balancing on the total requestor load. Command files to automatic set/clear/force the preferred paths are created when the procedure is run. This kit is installable using vmsinstal. See the Postscript Install Guide and Users Guide for details.
