z/OS Tape Workload Distributions
If you have multiple Oracle VSM’s or multiple IBM TS7700 clusters, this video shows an example of how IntelliMagic Vision can easily let you see how well your tape workloads are balanced across the VSM’s or TS7700’s.
Troubleshooting Global Mirror RPO Spikes
This video will show you how IntelliMagic Vision can be used to provide visibility to the status of Global Mirror replication in a Globally Disbursed Parallel Sysplex environment.
z/OS Virtual Tape Bridge from Physical to Logical Activity
This session demonstrates the characterization of a problem flagged for a TS7700 (CPU Utilization) and shows the link to then discover the host activity present when the worst of the incident occurred.
Who's Using Up All My Tapes?
This video demonstrates the categorization of the tape library into application usage (Volume Groups) and then shows the detailed records of the present usage of tape for that application.
High z/OS Disk Connect Time
By drilling down to specific volumes and consulting change logs, it is easy to determine the root cause of high z/OS Connect time as coming from a newly released SQL query.
Improve z/OS Storage Operations with Better Operational Intelligence
Focusing on z/OS storage operations and performance, this webinar demonstrates how to predict and prevent hidden and upcoming issues.
The Circle of (Storage) Life

Modernizing SMF Processing: zEDC Hardware Compression
This video highlights the excellent visibility IntelliMagic Vision provides into zEDC processing to allow you to ensure sufficient capacity and consistent performance.
What Good is a zEDC Card?
IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS is a wonderful tool to review zEDC activity and there are likely two reports of great interest, The PCIe Card Utilization, and Compression Ratios.
Are my Tape RPO's Being Met?
This video demonstrates how IntelliMagic Vision identified the replication from two host clusters to a third DR cluster getting significantly behind and not meeting their SLA’s for Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
How Can I Tell if My Back-End Drives Are Overloaded?
This case study shows how IntelliMagic Vision may be used to easily find the root cause of a z/OS performance issue related to overloaded back-end drives.
Is Coupling Facility Using Too Much CPU?
IntelliMagic Vision leverages knowledge about the Coupling Facility to determine how the structures are performing and how the software can alert you to underlying problems that you might not even know exist.
