The VM Performance Overview Report provides a high-level
summary of system performance data. This report provides
information pertaining to system utilization, storage use,
and scheduler activity. For most variables, the MIN, MAX,
MEAN, and percentile values are provided. The report can be
produced for any period greater than or equal to the monitor
recording interval.
To produce VM Performance Overview Report, create and submit
the following JCL:
//REPORT EXEC MICSSHRx
//SYSIN DD *
%VMCRPT(REPORT=01,BEGIN=hh:mm:ss,END=hh:mm:ss,
PERSIZE=minutes,CYCLE=nn,ID='report title')
/*
See Section 3.1.1 for descriptions of the parameters for the
VMCRPT macro.
The following JCL example produces a report from cycle 01 of
the VMXSGP file in the DETAIL timespan, with the data ranging
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The length of the reporting period is
480 minutes (that is, 8 hours), thus exactly one report would
be produced.
//REPORT EXEC MICSSHRV
//SYSIN DD *
%VMCRPT(REPORT=1,BEGIN=09:00:00,END=17:00:00,
PERSIZE=480,CYCLE=01,ID=CA MICS I/S MANAGEMENT);

Figure 3-1. VM Performance Overview Report
Report Variables, System Utilization section:
TOTAL % CPU: Total percent CPU busy for all processors in the
complex for the reporting period
%CP: Percent system state CPU time consumed by the
system (i.e., not attributable to a virtual
machine) and percent system state CPU time
consumed on behalf of all virtual machines
%PRB: Percent CPU time consumed while the processor is
in interpretive mode (SIE)
%WAIT: Percent CPU wait time
TOTAL TO VIRTUAL - SYSTEM: The ratio of all CPU time consumed
divided by the CPU time consumed in SIE
TOTAL TO VIRTUAL - USERID: The ratio of all CPU time consumed
by virtual machines divided by the CPU time
consumed in SIE
VIRTUAL MACHINES LOGGED ON: Users logged on to the system
during the reporting period
Report Variables, Storage section:
CONFIGURATION: This chart provides the average size of all
named areas for the reporting period
FREE EXTENDS: The rate of free storage extend operations per
second for the period and the total number of
pages extended
AVAIL LIST: The number of times the available list was empty
during the reporting period and the average
number of page frames in the available list
% STORAGE UTILIZED: This is the percentage of DPA frames that
are not in the available list
PAGING RATES: The paging rate to expanded storage and to
auxiliary storage
% UTILIZED: The percent of page, spool, and dump slots on
CP-owned volumes that are in use
Report Variables, Scheduler/Dispatcher section:
VMDBKS(STATES): The number of VMDBKs that are in the
dormant, eligible, and dispatch lists
VMDBKS(LOADING): The number of VMDBKs by queue that are
classified as loading users
VMDBKS(FORCED): The number of VMDBKs by queue that were
forced into queue due to being behind schedule
QDISP USERS ADDED: The number of QUICKDISP users added to Q0
during the reporting period
E1 ETS: This is the E1 elapsed timeslice. While
variations for this value are normal, large
variations in show a change in workload
characteristics.
TRANSACTIONS: The number of transactions (as viewed by the
scheduler) for the period. The RESPONSE is the
average elapsed time for the transaction type,
derived by dividing the elapsed time for the
transaction type by the count of transactions
for the type.
