3.3.2.2 Weekly 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 for the week being reported.
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 approximately 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
Weekly VM CPU Consumption Amount, which is the target CPU
consumption (expressed in seconds) is used to set a reference
line on the graph.

&VMCWSAX defines the CPU consumption chart axis.  &VMCWSRF
defines the target CPU consumption amount.  Therefore, to
define an objective (reference line) of 2700 CPU seconds
consumed out of every hour (or 3600 CPU seconds), code:

     %LET VMCWSAX = 3600;
     %LET VMCWSRF = 2700;

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

Figure 3-55 illustrates the Weekly 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 3-55, 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.
