SMF Type 11 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 11 SMF records
(VARY Device OFFLINE).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: Record type 11 is written when a VARY device OFFLINE command is processed. This record identifies the device being removed from the configuration by device class, unit type, and device number.

It's easy to report on SMF 11 data!

We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

SMF Type 11 Record -- VARY Device OFFLINE
Offset (Dec.)	Offset (Hex)	Name	Length	Format	Description
0	0	SMF11LEN	2	binary	Record length. This field and the next field (total of four bytes) form the RDW (record descriptor word). See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
2	2	SMF11SEG	2	binary	Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4	4	SMF11FLG	1	binary	System indicator: Bit Meaning When Set 0-2 Reserved 3-6 Version indicators* 7 Reserved.*See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
5	5	SMF11RTY	1	binary	Record type 11 (X'0B').
6	6	SMF11TME	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10	A	SMF11DTE	4	packed	Date when the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
14	E	SMF11SID	4	EBCDIC	System identification (from the SID parameter).
18	12	SMF11LN	2	binary	Length of the rest of the record (including this field).
Data Definition Section For each device varied offline, there is an entry with the following format:(Offset from beginning of record: 20)
0	0	SMF11DEV	8	structure	Device identification. Note: Virtual I/O devices are identified by the following: Device Class 0 Unit Type 0 Device Number X'7FFF'It is important to understand the following: Allocation messages for VIO data sets will show VIO ALLOCATED TO ddname. SMF records will show VIO unit addresses as X'7FFF'. The actual in-storage UCB built for VIO will show address X'3FFF'.For example, the messages: v IEF237I X'3FFF' ALLOCATED TO ddname v IEF237I X'7FFF' ALLOCATED TO ddnameindicate that ddname is not allocated to a Virtual I/O device, but is instead allocated to a real device whose unit address is X'3FFF' or X'7FFF' respectively.
0	0	SMF11DUT	2	binary	Device class and unit type.
2	2	SMF11CUA	2	binary	Device number.
4	4	SMF11VPC	1	binary	Identifies the issuer of the vary path command that causes the specified device to change states Value Meaning 0 Operator 2 Enterprise Systems Connection Manager Program Product (5688-008).
5	5	SMF11RSV	3	--	Reserved.

The table above is based on the description provided by IBM in its "MVS Systems Management Facilities (SMF)" manual.
