3.3.1.2 Daily VM Resource Consumption Report

This report quantifies the total VM CPU resource consumption
in seconds per hour averaged across all processor engines in
the supporting computing system.  This is but another way to
look at percentage resource consumption.  That is, if the
average number of CPU seconds consumed by each processor is
1800 seconds (out of a possible 3600 seconds), then 50% of
available processor capacity is being utilized.

The management objective to be tracked for evaluating the
rate of resource consumption for VM is the average CPU time
(in seconds) consumed per hour.

The only user option that applies to this report is the Daily
VM CPU Consumption Amount, which is the target CPU
consumption (expressed in seconds) that used to set a
reference line on the graph.

&VMCSAX defines the CPU consumption chart axis.  &VMCSREF
defines the target CPU consumption amount.  Therefore, to set
a target CPU (average) consumption amount of 2700 CPU seconds
for any given hour, code:

     %LET VMCSAX = 3600;
     %LET VMCSREF = 2700;

A full description of the user options is provided in Section
3.3.4.1, VM Report Options.

Figure 3-51 illustrates the Daily VM Resource Consumption
Report based on a management objective of consuming less than
2700 CPU seconds (on average) during any given hour.  The
sample report shown here quantifies the seconds of CPU
consumption with the horizontal axis representing the hours
of the day and the vertical axis charting the average seconds
of CPU time consumed per processing engine.

The management objective for VM resource consumption is shown
by the dashed horizontal reference line printed across the
chart.  In Figure 3-51, the reference line is shown at the
2700 CPU seconds consumed level of the vertical axis.
Therefore, any hour for which the charted bar exceeds this
reference line signals that the objective to contain resource
consumption was missed for that hour.
