KDF_FM
This indicates the beginning or end of a group of DASD devices to be monitored by OMEGAMON for Storage monitoring product. If the variable value is BEGIN, the variables that follow are used to construct rows in a table containing information for a single group. If the variable value is END, this signifies the end of the server group information.

KDF_FMnn_FIRST_DEV
This specifies the first device to monitor. You can specify a hexadecimal address, or the first device in an address range.

KDF_FMnn_LAST_DEV
This specifies the last device in a range of devices to monitor.

KDF_FMnn_MON_STAT
This specifies the monitoring mode status. To enable sample count monitoring mode, enter ON. To enable exception-level monitoring mode, enter MSR.

KDF_FMnn_ROW
This specifies the row number for subsequent information to be entered into a table of devices or ranges of devices to be monitored for data set-level response time information.

KDF_FMnn_SAM_CNT
This specifies the sample count. If KDF_FMnn_MON_STAT is specified as "ON", enter a sample count value. If KDF_FMnn_MON_STAT is specified as "MSR", enter an MSR response time threshold.

KDF_FMnn_VOL
This specifies the devices to be monitored by VOLSER or VOLSER pattern. To specify a VOLSER pattern, enter an asterisk after the beginning characters. For example, ABC* specifies every volume whose volume serial name begins with ABC. To specify all volumes, enter an asterisk.

KDF_FX
This indicates the beginning or end of a group of DASD devices to exclude from DASD space and fragmentation monitoring by OMEGAMON for Storage monitoring product. If the variable value is BEGIN, the variables that follow are used to construct rows in a table containing information for a single group. If the variable value is END, this signifies the end of the server group information.

KDF_FXnn_FIRST_DEV
This specifies first device address of a range of devices to be excluded from space and fragmentation monitoring.

KDF_FXnn_LAST_DEV
This specifies last device address of a range of devices to be excluded from space and fragmentation monitoring.

KDF_FXnn_VOL
This specifies the devices to exempt from space and fragmentation monitoring. Specify each of the devices to exclude. Add as many device specifications as required. Enter a VOLSER or pattern. If VOLSER pattern is *, all devices are excluded from space and fragmentation monitoring.

KDF_HIS_DSN
This indicates whether collection of data set historical data is enabled. Disabling collection of this or other categories of data allows more information to be collected by those that are enabled.

KDF_HSM_BKP_MSGS
This indicates whether you want to enable monitoring of BACKUP messages. HSM log analysis periodically scans the HSM LOGY data set for new messages. The messages scanned are grouped into four categories: Primary Space Management, Secondary Space Management, BACKUP, and DUMP. You can enable or disable monitoring for any of the 4 groups.

KDF_HSM_DUMP_MSGS
This indicates whether you want to enable monitoring of DUMP messages. HSM log analysis periodically scans the HSM LOGY data set for new messages. The messages scanned are grouped into four categories: Primary Space Management, Secondary Space Management, BACKUP, and DUMP. You can enable or disable monitoring for any of the 4 groups.

KDF_HSM_MCDS_RATE
This specifies the MCDS refresh rate. The minimum is 1 minute, the maximum is 9999 minutes, and the default is 240 minutes.

KDF_HSM_PSM_MSGS
This indicates whether you want to enable monitoring of PSM messages. HSM log analysis periodically scans the HSM LOGY data set for new messages. The messages scanned are grouped into four categories: Primary Space Management, Secondary Space Management, BACKUP, and DUMP. You can enable or disable monitoring for any of the 4 groups.

KDF_HSM_REF_RATE
This specifies the interval (in minutes) to scan the LOGY data set.

KDF_HSM_SSM_MSGS
This indicates whether you want to enable monitoring of SSM messages. HSM log analysis periodically scans the HSM LOGY data set for new messages. The messages scanned are grouped into four categories: Primary Space Management, Secondary Space Management, BACKUP, and DUMP. You can enable or disable monitoring for any of the 4 groups.

KDF_MON_APPL_VOLS
This is the refresh interval for application statistics in seconds.

KDF_MON_CACHE_RESET_INTV
This is the reset interval for cache statistics in minutes. You can enter RMF™ instead of a number, to synchronize the reset with the RMF interval.

KDF_MON_CACHE_STATS_INTV
This is the refresh interval for cache statistics in seconds.

KDF_MON_DASD_RESP_INTV
This is the response time data collection interval in seconds.

KDF_MON_SPACE_FRAG_INTV
This is the space information collection frequency in DASD response time intervals. If you enter RMF, space information is collected once per RMF interval.

KDF_MON_TAPE_INTV
This specifies, in seconds, the tape device data collection interval. If you enter zero or OFF, tape device monitoring is deactivated.

KDF_MSR_TRIP_CNT
You specify an MSR trigger value for a device to specify the number of times an MSR exception occurs before monitoring resumes for the device.

KDF_SMF_INTV
This is the SMF record interval for device statistics. Valid values are: OFF, RMF, SMF, or 0 to 999 minutes. RMF synchronizes recording with an RMF interval. SMF synchronizes recording with an SMF interval. OFF disables SMF recording.

KDF_SMF_IO_CNT_THRSH
This is the threshold used when accumulating summary information for each user DASD group. Volumes whose I/O count falls below the threshold are omitted from the summary.

KDF_SMF_NUM
This defines an SMF record number that is used to enable SMF device recording. To disable recording, enter 0.

KDF_STG_CLAS_COLL
This indicates whether you want to enable SMS storage class name collection at the data set level. This only affects the SMF records written for batch historical reporting. Specify Y to produce SAS reports containing storage class name. Specify N to minimize the overhead involved in obtaining the name.

KDF_VTS_VTSDATA
This indicates whether the SMS product should collect virtual tape server data.

KDF_VTS_VTSHIST
This indicates whether VTS data should be stored in the persistent data store data sets and made available for historical reporting.
