Configuring and Managing SMF

Processes

For D-series RVUs, SMF processes are configured and managed through a

combination of the Configuration Utility Program (COUP) and the Peripheral Utility

Program (PUP). For G-series RVUs, SMF processes are configured and managed

through the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). Figure 3-1 illustrates the ability to

configure and manage the SMF environment with COUP and PUP or SCF.

This section contains these topics:



Configuration and Management Overview on page 3-2



Error Management and Reporting on page 3-20

COUP lets you define the process-level attributes of the $ZSMS master process

and storage pool and virtual disk processes. COUP also lets you add and delete

entries for these processes in the system configuration file, OSCONFIG, in addition

to start them, stop them, and inquire about their attributes. COUP commands that

support SMF are described in Appendix B, COUP and PUP Interfaces
