3.3.1.4 Daily VM Availability Report

This report shows the availability of a VM system on an
hourly basis for the identified day and computing system.

The management objective to be tracked for evaluating the
availability of the VM system is a measure of the number of
minutes that the VM SCP was active within an hour of the day.

The only user option that applies to this report is the
Hourly VM Uptime Limit which is the target number of uptime
minutes per hour, generally set to 60.

&VMCDUTX sets the vertical axis of the hourly uptime chart.
&VMCUT defines the hourly uptime target for daily and weekly
reporting.  Therefore, to define an hourly uptime of 60
minutes, code:

     %LET VMCDUTX = 60;
     %LET VMCUT = 60;

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

Figure 3-53 illustrates the Daily VM Availability Report
based on a management objective of no outage time (60 minutes
uptime) per hour.  The sample report shown here quantifies
the system available time with the horizontal axis
representing the hours of the day and the vertical axis
charting the number of uptime minutes incurred.

The management objective is to incur no outage time.
Therefore, any time a charted bar does not reach the 60
minute uptime reference line, the VM availability objective
was missed for that hour.  In Figure 3-53, the reference line
is shown at the 60-minute level on the vertical axis.
