3.2.1.2.10 VM HiperSocket Channel Activity Report
 The VM HiperSockets Channel Activity report provides
 information about HiperSocket channels.  Only channels for
 which "busy" conditions occur are included. HiperSockets is a
 program that has the ability not only to directly communicate
 with a program running within the same logical partition
 (LP), but also to communicate across any logical partition
 within the same CPC.
 
 INTENDED USE:
 
 The report is designed to help analyze HiperSocket channels
 by path ID.  For each ID, HiperSocket activity per second for
 the partition and total for the system can be analyzed to
 help detect bottlenecks in the I/O subsystem caused by
 excessive path utilization.
 
 FORMAT:
 
    A tabular listing that contains one line of information
    for each active channel configured during the reporting
    period. Report is ordered by channel path ID.  In addition
    to the channel path ID, the following columns are shown on
    the report:
 
         CHPID - Hexadecimal number of the channel path
         identifier.
 
         SHRD - Indicator for the channel which can be either
         YES for channels shared with other logical
         partitions, or NO for channels dedicated to this
         logical partition.
 
         HIPERSOCKET ACTIVITY/SEC:
 
         TOTAL FOR SYSTEM:
 
         TRANSFERRED T_MSGS - The number of messages sent per
         second for the whole system.
 
         TRANSFERRED T_DUNITS - The number of data units per
         second for the whole system.
 
         FAILED T_NOBUFF - The number of sends per second that
         failed due to unavailable receive buffers, for the
         whole system.
 
         OWN PARTITION:
 
         TRANSFERRED L_MSGS - The number of messages sent per
         second by programs in the own partition.
 
         TRANSFERRED L_DUNITS - The number of data units per
         second for the own partition.
 
         FAILED L_NOBUFF - The number of sends per second that
         failed due to unavailable receive buffers, for the
         own partition.
 
         FAILED L_OTHER - The number of sends per second that
         failed due to other problems, for the own partition.

    An example of this report is shown in Figure 3-24.

 DATA SOURCE (File/Timespan):
 
    VMXCPM01 - DETAIL
 
 DATA ELEMENTS USED:
 
    CHANNEL  - Physical Channel Address
    CPMTYPE  - VM Channel Path Type
    CPMCMG   - VM Channel Measurement Group
    CPMPSTMS - VM HiperSockets Message Sent Rate - CPC
    CPMPSTUB - VM HiperSockets Receive Failed Rate - CPC
    CPMPSPMS - VM HiperSockets Message Sent Rate - LPAR
    CPMPSPUB - VM HiperSockets Receive Failed Rate - LPAR
    CPMPSPUS - VM HiperSockets Message Failed Rate - LPAR

    ROUND(CPMHDUST/CPMCPINT);
 
    Average data units sent per second for the LPAR:
 
    L_DUNITS
 
    ROUND(CPMHDUSL/CPMCPINT);
 
 USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
 
    None
