VMRMCA, the Minidisk Cost Analysis utility, translates the minidisk cost information gathered by CA VM:Account and the minidisk utilization statistics gathered by VMRMDS into a report of costs incurred by CMS minidisks. This information allows you to:

  • Determine the cost of unused and underused minidisks
  • Identify system users who are underutilizing their minidisks
  • Identify problem minidisks
  • Make better use of your existing DASD
  • Postpone the need to purchase additional DASD
  • Identify minidisks that have not been updated within a specific period of time

VMRMCA can report on the utilization costs of minidisks associated with a specific CA VM:Account customer, CA VM:Account project, CA VM:Secure or CA VM:Director manager, VM directory account code, VM directory distribution code, ACIGROUP, userid, volume, and device type. The reports identify monthly charges for in-use, unused, and total CMS minidisk allocations.
