An Introduction to Implementing a Capacity Planning Effort in an MVS (multiple Virtual Storage) Environment

Abstract

This thesis describes the development of a new capacity planning methodology to aid computer professionals working on implementing a capacity planning effort in an MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) environment. The methodology developed utilizes the System Management Facility (SMF), the Resource Measurement Facility (RMF), and the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) in order to bring together many of the past computer performance evaluation ideas and to integrate them with current computer performance evaluation techniques and automated procedures. An automated approach is taken so computer professionals can devote their energies to analyzing and interpreting results, not gathering and calculating input factors. Subsequently, each MVS installation is supplied with the actual usage data to help set accurate user objectives and forecast for tomorrow's data processing needs.
