3.2.1.1.10 Detail VMX LPAR Utilization Report

This report produces a tabular listing of the processor
resource consumption for logical partitions defined in your
PR/SM complex for a user-defined interval.

Run-time execution parameters for this report include:

   o the database unit identifier or identifiers on which you
     want to report

   o the range of file cycles on which you want to report
     (both online and archive cycles are available)

   o the SYSID of the system on which you want to report

   o the length of the interval period on which you want to
     report

   o the period of time represented in the report

INTENDED USE:

   Enables you to review CPU utilization for each LPAR
   defined in your PR/SM complex.  Includes the configuration
   of your logical partitions.

FORMAT:

   A tabular listing that contains one line of information
   for each logical partition defined in the interval.  The
   following columns are shown on the report:

        INQUIRY -   The MICF inquiry identifier.

        SYSID -     The name of the system from which the
                    data was collected.

        DATE -      The date when the data was captured in
                    the CA MICS database.

        RUN DATE -  The date when the inquiry was submitted
                    for execution.

        END TIME -  The end of the reporting interval.

        PR/SM CPU
        TOT -       The number of physical processors in the
                    PR/SM complex, or the number of physical
                    processors in the physical partition if
                    the system is running in physically
                    partitioned mode.

        SHR -       The number of physical processors that
                    are not dedicated to any logical
                    partitions.

        LOGICAL PARTITION
        NO. -       The PR/SM partition number.  When there
                    is an asterisk (*) in this column, this
                    line of information represents LPAR
                    management overhead that cannot be
                    attributed to any of the logical
                    partitions.

        NAME -      The name of the logical partition.  In
                    addition to the LPARs you define, CA MICS
                    creates the LPAR named PHYSICAL to report
                    the LPAR management time spent managing
                    the physical configuration in the complex
                    (available under VM/ESA Release 2 and
                    above).

        FLAGS
        O (Owner) - If an "X" appears in this column, the
                    logical partition is the one that runs
                    the VM system from which the LPAR data
                    was collected.

        S (Shared) - If an "X" appears in this column, the
                    LPAR shares the physical processors
                    with other LPARs.  If the column is
                    blank, the physical processors are
                    dedicated to the LPAR.

        W (Wait Completion=On) - If an "X" appears in this
                    column, the LPAR receives service from
                    the shared physical processors based on
                    the passage of a time interval (as
                    opposed to receiving service based on the
                    occurrence of an event).

        C (Capped) - If an "X" appears in this column, the
                    PR/SM capping function is enabled.  The
                    LPAR receives only up to its share of
                    physical processor resources based on its
                    processing weight.

        LCPU CNT -  The number of logical processors.

        INTVLS -    The number of monitor sample intervals.

        WGHTS -     The portion of shared processor resources
                    allocated to this LPAR.  Valid values
                    range from 1 through 999.

        DISPATCH TIME
        TOTAL -     The total physical processor time
                    accumulated by this LPAR during the
                    reporting interval.  If WAIT
                    COMPLETION=On, total dispatch time
                    includes wait time.

        AVERAGE -   the average amount of physical processor
                    time accumulated by this LPAR in a
                    monitor interval.

        % REAL CPU
        AVG -       The average percentage of the physical
                    processor resources that were assigned to
                    this LPAR during the reporting interval.

        MIN -       The minimum percentage of the physical
                    processor resources that were assigned to
                    this LPAR during the reporting interval.

        MAX -       The maximum percentage of the physical
                    processor resources that were assigned to
                    this LPAR during the reporting interval.

        LPAR MANAGEMENT OVERHEAD
        TOTAL -     The amount of time used to manage this
                    LPAR during the reporting interval.  For
                    the LPAR named PHYSICAL, this is the time
                    spent managing the physical configuration
                    of the processor complex.

        % -         The percentage of physical processor time
                    that was spent managing this LPAR as
                    opposed to doing work in the LPAR.  For
                    the LPAR named PHYSICAL, this is the
                    percentage of time spent managing the
                    physical configuration of the processor
                    complex.

CALCULATIONS:

   The Flags in the report are derived as follows:

        O: the owner flag (OWNER) is set to "X" if the value
           of LPRCOLCT is greater than 0.

        S: the shared flag (SHRD) is set to "X" if LPRSHRMD
           is greater than 0.

        W: the wait completion flag (WAITF) is set to "X" if
           the value of LPRWAITF is greater than 0.

        C: the capping flag (CAPP) is set to "X" if the value
           of LPRCAPP is greater than 0.

   The number of dedicated physical processors (DCPU) is
   computed by summarizing the value of LPRCPUCT for the
   partition whose LPRSHRMD contains the value of 0.

   The total number of shareable physical processors (RSCPU)
   is computed as:

        RSCPU = PRSMNOPP-DCPU

   The average LPAR dispatch time (AVGLPDTM) is computed as:

        AVGLPDTM = LPRLPDTM/LPRLPAR;
