Hi,
Is somebody know how to calculate the average dasd response time from WLM 
Period's connect/disconnect/wait/iosq times ?

On my shop, we use SYSVIEW. In his option WLM, we can see the I/O metrics but I 
don't understand how is calculated the average response time.

For the example, how is calculated the 0.022968 second average connect time ? I 
thought that it was simply the amount of connect time in microseconds divided 
by the total I/O count, but 3527936 / 19661 = 179.4382 that is far away of 
22968 microseconds (0.022968 seconds)...

SYSVIEW, option WLM for a particular WLM Period :
Resource                              Value  Average
Total service units for period        82495        
 CPU service units                    77274        
 SRB service units                     5221        
Swap count                                6        
I/O interupt time                  0.044067        
Average swapped-in transactions           0        
Total frames                              0        
RCT time                           0.001301         
Average active transactions               0        
DASD I/O count                        19661        
DASD I/O connect time              3.527936 0.022968
DASD I/O disconnect time           1.666304 0.010848
DASD I/O wait time                 0.000896 0.000006


In the RCAERESC structure of IWMWRCAA mapping, it's mentionned that the Total 
DASD I/O count "can be used with fields RCAEIOCT, RCAEIODT, RCAEIOWT, RCAEIOST 
to determine average DASD response time for the period" but without more 
details.

Thanks for your help to understand this calculation.

Guillaume
