Tape collection off; no VTS data occurs

Limitation:

You have configured data collection on Virtual Tape Servers (VTS), but no data is present in the VTS workspace in the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.

Workaround:

This problem can occur when you are not collecting related data; the following items are prerequisites for enabling the collection of VTS data:

  • Tape device collection, which you enable when you configure OMEGAMON® for Storage on z/OS®.
  • Collection of SMF record type 94.
  • Be sure to add the IEFU84 SMF exit to the SMFPRMnn member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
