3.2.1 VM MICF Inquiry Descriptions


All distributed MICF inquiries are categorized by analysis
group.  The CA MICS VMX information area provides MICF
inquiries within two analysis groups:  workload and
performance.

The VM inquiries are created from DETAIL timespan files in
the VMX information area, and are typically designed to allow
for analysis of activity over a user-defined period of time
during the day.  Additionally, the tabular reports produced
here are designed for running in batch, and most produce
132-character-wide reports.  However, as with all MICF
inquiries, these reports can be run in foreground and the
output viewed online.  Figure 3-2 lists the MICF inquiries
contained within each of these groups:

   1 - VM Workload Analysis Inquiries
   2 - VM Performance Analysis Inquiries
