| Skills taught |
| |
- Correlate data set formats and organization with supported access method and media
- Describe the mechanics of read and write operations on DASD and identify the commands that control this process
- Trace the flow of an I/O request through the operating system and the components of the storage subsystem and identify potential performance bottlenecks
- Discuss the effect of cache, DASD fast write, and cache fast write on response time and path length of an I/O operation
- Specify characteristics of data that exploit hardware features such as cache, dual copy, DASD fast write, and cache fast write
