This report produces a tabular listing of user states
(various wait states, running, and so on) in time sequence.
The information is summarized by the number of minutes
specified by the user as a run-time execution parameter.
Activity is displayed over the period of time specified by
the user, again as run-time execution parameters.
INTENDED USE:
This report is designed for monitoring the kinds of states
in which users are spending their time. It can be used to
see whether users are often waiting for a particular
resource (such as the CPU, or I/O).
FORMAT:
A tabular report in chronological order, where each line
represents a summarization of DETAIL data across a user-
specified period of time. The time column represents the
timestamp of the end of the summarized interval. The
first set of columns report on the VMDBKs in the dispatch
list, and what states they are in. Each value is an
average for a monitor interval:
TIDL - Number of VMDBKs in test idle but not SVM
(Service Virtual Machine) wait
SVM - Number of VMDBKs in SVM (Service Virtual
Machine) wait
I/O - Number of VMDBKs in I/O wait
CF - Number of VMDBKs in console function wait
SIM - Number of VMDBKs in simulation wait
PAG - Number of VMDBKs in page wait
CPU - Number of VMDBKs in CPU wait
RUN - Number of VMDBKs running on a CPU
ASIO - Number of VMDBKs in asynchronous I/O wait
OTHER - Number of VMDBKs in an undefined state
QDSP - Number of Quickdisp VMDBKs in the dispatch
list
TOTAL - Total number of VMDBKs in the dispatch list
The next two columns are for the eligible list:
TOTAL - Total number of VMDBKs in the eligible list
SVM - Number of VMDBKs on the eligible list that
are in SVM (Service Virtual Machine) wait
The last two columns are for the dormant list:
TOTAL - Total number of VMDBKs in the dormant list
SVM - Number of VMDBKs on the dormant list that are
in SVM (Service Virtual Machine) wait
An example of this report is shown in Figure 3-10.

SGPTIDL - Times a VMDBK Found in Test Idle State
SGPTSVM - Times a VMDBK in Test Idle and SVM State
SGPTIOWT - Times a VMDBK was Found in I/O Wait
SGPTCFWT - Times a VMDBK was Found in CF Wait
SGPTSMWT - Times a VMDBK was in Simulation Wait
SGPTPGWT - Times a VMDBK was Found in Page Wait
SGPTCPWT - Times a VMDBK was Found in CPU Wait
SGPCPURN - Number of VMDBKs Running on a Processor
SGPNASIO - Times VMDBK was in Asynchronous I/O Wait State
SGPTOTHR - Times VMDBK was in Undefined State
SGPNQDSP - Number of Quickdisp Users in DLIST
SGPCDISP - Count of Users in Dispatch List
SGPCELIG - Number of VMDBKs in the Eligible List
SGPESVMW - Eligible List VMDBKs in SVM Wait
SGPCDORM - Number of Users in the Dormant List
SGPDSVMW - Dormant List VMDBKs in SVM Wait
CALCULATIONS:
The various elements to be reported on are summarized
across the user-specified time period, if necessary. All
reported elements are then averaged by dividing by the
number of monitor recording intervals.
USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
To obtain a detail report, with one line per monitor
interval, specify 0 for the summarization period in the
run-time execution parameters.
