Extended Address Volume (EAV)

1. Extended Address Volume (EAV)

2. zArchitecture Data Scalability

3. Why is EAV needed • Problem: • Running out of z/OS addressable disk storage • Rapid data growth pushing 4-digit device number limit • Solution: • Defining larger volumes by increasing the number of cylinders • New track address format • 28 bit cylinder track address (CCCCcccH) • Space managed in multi-cylinder units • Cylinder-managed space (EAS) • Benefit: • Increase z/OS addressable disk storage by supporting additional data set types that are EAS eligible • z/OS V1R12 provides the third iteration of this support

4. Breaking the 65,520 cylinder limit Overview - What is an EAV • What is an Extended Address Volume (EAV)? • A volume with more than 65,520 cylinders • Size limited to 223 GB (262,668 Max cylinders) • Supported in z/OS V1R10 and higher z/OS V1R12 z/OS V1R10 z/OS V1R11

5. Overview - DS8000 Support • 3390 Model A • A device configured to have 1 to 268,434,453 cylinders • 223 GB • DS8000 Release 4 Licensed Internal Code • An EAV is configured as an 3390 Model A in the DS8000 Theoretically up to 268,434,453 Cylinders 3390-A “EAV” Size limited to 223 GB (262,668 Max cylinders) in z/OS V1R10 and higher 3390-9 3390-9 3390-9 3390-3 Theoretical Up to 225 TB 3 GB Max cyls: 3,339 9 GB Max cyls: 10,017 27 GB Max cyls: 32,760 54 GB Max cyls: 65,520

6. cylinder-managed space Cylinders Beyond first 65,520 Cylinders First 65,520 Cylinders track-managed space EAV Overview – EAV Key Design Points How the space is managed • Maintains 3390 track format • Track-managed space: the area on an EAV located within the first 65,520 cylinders • Space is allocated in track and cylinder units • Storage for “small” data sets • Cylinder-managed space: the area on an EAV located above the first 65,520 cylinders • Space is allocated in multicylinder units • A fixed unit of disk space that is larger than a cylinder. Currently on an EAV it is 21 cylinders • System may round space requests up • Storage for “large” data sets • Track-managed space comparable to same space on non-EAVs

7. Multi-unit cylinders • The 21 cylinder value for the MCU is derived from being the smallest unit that can map out the largest possible EAV volume and stay within the index architecture (with a block size of 8192 bytes), as follows: • Value that divides evenly into the 1GB storage segments of an IBM DS8000 • These 1GB segments are the allocation unit in the IBM DS8000 and are equivalent to 1113 cylinders. • These segments are allocated in multiples of 1113 cylinders starting at cylinder 65520

8. Extended addressing Space (EAS) Base addressing space EAV Overview – EAV Key Design Points Extended addressing space (EAS): the area on an EAV located above the first 65,536 cylinders. • 28-bit cylinder addressing (CCCCcccH) How the space is addressed • Base addressing space: the area on an EAV located within the first 65,536 cylinders. • 16-bit cylinder addressing (CCHH) • Comparable to same addressing space on a non-EAV Cylinders beyond first 65,536 cylinders New track address format needed to access tracks in EAS The first 65,536 cylinders

14. Format-8 Format-3 Extended addressing space Format-3 F3 F3 Format-9 Format-3 F3 … F3 Up to 10 Format-3 Base addressing space EAV Overview – Access to EAS eligible data sets on EAV New DSCB types provides a method of protecting existing programs from seeing an unexpected new track address format • EAS eligible data sets can reside anywhere on an EAV • Format 8/9 DSCBs EAS eligible data sets include VSAM, Sequential, Direct, and Partitioned in z/OS V1R12 Format-1 Format-3 Up to 10 Format-3

15. Format 4 DSCB • Number of cylinders on volume • Existing two-byte field DS4DSCYL in the F4 DSCB will contain the value of x’FFFE’ (65534). This Identifies the volume as an EAV. • DS4EAV defined as constant value of X’FFFE’ • New four-byte field DS4DCYL will contain the number of cylinders on the volume. • New allocation unit for cylinders above 65,520 • New two-byte field DS4LCYL will contain a code value of x’0010’ to indicate that the cylinder-managed space after the first 65,520 cylinders must be allocated in units that are larger than one cylinder. • This value represents 65520 cylinders divided by 4095. For a non-EAV this will be zero. • New field DS4MCU (“minimum allocation unit”) will contain the number of cylinders that each extent in the cylinder-managed area must be a multiple of. • For an EAV this will be 21. For a non-EAV this will be zero. It is valid only when the value in DS4DSCYL is DS4EAV.

16. Format 8 and 9 DSCB • Format 8 DSCB similar to Format 1 DSCB except • Identifier F8 instead of F1 • Points to format-9 DSCB instead of a format-3 DSCB • Cylinder numbers in the extent descriptions can include large cylinder numbers • Format 9 DSCB • New as of z/OS V1R10 • Points to one or more format-3 DSCB

17. Format 8 DSCB • Identical to F1 DSCB with following exceptions • The format identifier (DS1FMTID) will be x’F8’ instead of x’F1’ . New symbols defined: • DS1IDC constant value of X’F1’ in DS1FMTID • DS8IDC constant value of X’F8’ in DS1FMTID • Track addresses in the extent descriptors starting in DS1EXT1 will use new track address format (that is, may contain 28-bit cylinder numbers) • The ‘next DSCB’ address (DS1PTRDS) will always point to a F9 DSCB (new type of DSCB) instead of a possible first F3 DSCB.

18. Format 9 DSCB • F9 DSCB will exist only for EAS eligible data sets (VSAM in first release) • Will contain the following • The format identifier will be x’F9’ • A subtype field • In the first EAV release, the subtype will be 1. • In future releases, additional subtypes may be added. • Track addresses which point directly to up to ten F3 DSCBs • All the format 3 DSCBs can be read with one channel program. • A 20-byte field DS9ATRV1 that IBM is reserving for vendors. IBM will not specify or monitor its content. • A ‘next DSCB’ address will point to a possible F3 DSCB. The F3 DSCBs will continue to be chained. • In future releases, additional F9 DSCBs may be chained between the subtype 1 and any F3 DSCBs

19. Overview - access to extended attribute DSCBs • Code EADSCB=OK to access extended attribute data set control blocks (DSCBs) • EADSCB=OK indicates that program understands 28-bit cylinder numbers and format 8 and 9 DSCBs. • OBTAIN (CAMLST), CVAFDIR, CVAFFILT, CVAFSEQ, DCBE (open for EXCP processing, open VTOC), CVAFDSM • Not specifying EADSCB=OK will cause these services to fail • Keyword on 1.10 programs ignored on pre 1.10 systems & on volumes not supporting extended attribute DSCBs • Recommendation: code keyword on all invocations EADSCB=OK keyword must be specified to access EAV VTOC records! Not all applications can access EAS eligible data sets! Use the tracking facility to assist in finding programs

20. Migration Assistance Tracker • The EAV migration assistance tracker can help with: • Finding programs that you might need to change if you want to support extended address volumes (EAVs) • The EAV migration assistance tracker is an extension of the console ID tracking facility • Functions: • Identify select systems services by job and program name • Identify possible instances of improper use of returned information in programs, like parsing 28-bit cylinder numbers in output as 16-bit cylindernumbers • Identify instances of programs that will either fail or run with an informational message if they run on an EAV
