6.8.5.1 PR/SM Related Hardware and SCP Analyzer Files

The organization of the PR/SM logical partitions' information
within the CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer files is driven
by the structure of the SMF type 70 subtype 1 CPU, PR/SM, and
ICF Activity record as described in section 6.8.3 of this
guide.

Four files are derived from the SMF type 70 subtype 1 record:

o HARIPU:  Individual Processor Activity File

o HARCPU:  CPU Processor Activity File

o HARVPA:  Logical Processor Activity File

o HARLPC:  Logical Partition Activity File

As far as CPU resource consumption is concerned, they should
be seen as two pairs of parallel files:

o The HARIPU/HARCPU files provide an "inside z/OS" view of
  the system that created the SMF record.

o The HARVPA/HARLPC files describe the activity of all
  logical partitions defined, as seen from PR/SM perspective.
  This not only includes the recording system, but also all
  other LPARs, even if they do not produce any SMF record.
