2.1.3.1 MSU Consumption Rate and Soft Capping Analysis


This query analyzes HARCPU data collected from z/OS
workloads. Using detail-level data, this query tracks MSU
consumption rates, four-hour rolling averages, and the
percentage of time an LP has been soft-capped.  When defined
group capacity analysis is specified, two additional reports
are generated, separately charting the summarized MSU
consumption rate and four-hour rolling average of each
capacity group.  At higher levels of summarization, this
query graphs the maximum MSU consumption rate and the maximum
four-hour rolling average for the reporting interval.  Also
included are the service units available to z/OS image
(CPUSUAVL), expressed in MSUs per hour.

Each report can be selectively produced using the Report
Option on the query composition panel. The ability to produce
a CA MICS Q&R CSV file is also available by selecting the
Generate Q&R CSV File option. When selected, a CSV file will
be produced containing all elements used in each report.  The
default view in Q&R will be MSU Consumption over time.

MSU CONSUMPTION RATE AND MSU FOUR-HOUR ROLLING AVG. REPORTS

To help you better understand the standard output produced
by this query, definitions and calculations involved in
producing the reported variables follow:

CEC          The number of service units (expressed in
CAPACITY     MSUs) available to the partition, that is the
IN MSUs:     LP CPU capacity.

             If an LP has no defined capacity limit, CPUSUAVL
             is based on the number of logical processors
             defined for the partition if the LP is uncapped;
             or, on the LP's weight, if it is capped via the
             Hardware Management Console.

             If an LP has a defined capacity, CPUSUAVL
             contains this defined capacity limit, and is
             equivalent to the LPCDEFLM data element of the
             HARLPC (PR/SM LP Config/Activity) file.


MAX MSU      Contains the total number of MSUs consumed by
CONSUMPTION  the partition, during the measurement interval.
RATE:
                        CPUTODTM * CPUSUSEC * 3600
             CPUTOMSU = --------------------------
                            DURATION * 1000000


             CPUTODTM is the total dispatch time of all
                      processors assigned to the partition.

             CPUSUSEC is the physical CPU adjustment factor
                      used to convert CPU times to SUs.

             DURATION is the length of the RMF recording
                      interval.

MAX MSU      Contains the maximum value of the four-hour
FOUR-HOUR    rolling average number of service units consumed
ROLLING      (expressed in MSUs) by the partition, during the
AVERAGE:     CA MICS reporting interval.

WLM          Contains the percentage of the time when the
CAPPING      partition has been capped by WLM because the LP
PERCENTAGE:  used more service units than its defined
             capacity limit, based on a MSU four-hour rolling
             average consumption.

CAPACITY     The maximum number of processor licensing units
GROUP        for the group of logical partitions identified
LIMIT:       by having the same group name, of which this
             partition is a member.  The capacity group limit
             is expressed in MSUs.
