6.8.5.2.1.3 Non z/OS LPARs

Since non z/OS logical partitions do not run RMF, and thus do
not create their own SMF type 70 subtype 1 records, they are
not represented in the HARIPU/HARIPU files.  Therefore there
is no way to report on what is occurring inside their
operating systems.  Such detailed analysis can only be
conducted using their own monitoring tools, such as z/VM
Monitor.

However their PR/SM activity is still reported in the
HARVPA/HARLPC files, providing valuable information about the
time logical processors were dispatched,both in regards to
LPAR capacity and overall standard CP resources utilization.

Listed below are examples for your non-z/OS LPARs analysis:

o To know how much of its allocated CPU resources an LPAR
  consumed, use the following data element from the HARLPC
  file:

  LPCPCVPU - LPAR CP Processors Utilization

o To know how much of the total capacity of the standard CP
  processors pool an LPAR consumed, use the following data
  element from the HARLPC file:

  LPCPCTSU - LPAR Total CP Processors Utilization

o To know how many of the resources of the pool of shared
  standard CP processors were consumed by one LPAR, use the
  following data element from the HARLPC file:

  LPCPCSSU - LPAR Shared CP Processors Utilization


  Note:  If all processors from the standard CP pool are
  shared, LPCPCSSU is equal to LPCPCTSU.
