6.8.5.1.2 HARVPA/HARLPC Relationship

The same kind of relationship exists between the HARVPA and
HARLPC files as between the HARIPU and HARCPU files: all the
information stored in the HARVPA file is summarized in the
HARLPC file.  The only difference is data granularity.
HARVPA contains logical processors' detailed information,
while HARLPC contains LPAR level totals.

However, it is very important to emphasize that the scope of
the HARVPA/HARLPC files is different due to the nature of the
data they are derived from:  they only reflect the LPAR's
activity from the PR/SM perspective.

Furthermore, the way information from the HARVPA file is
consolidated in the HARLPC file depends on the type of system
z/OS is executing on:

    1 - zSeries and Earlier Models' Data Organization
    2 - System z9 and Later Models' Data Organization
