2.1.5.2 Estimating MSU Consumption of non-z/OS Workloads


The following are requirements that you must satisfy in
order to execute this report.

In order to execute this report, you must have:

 o  RMF data version 3.5 and above

 o  Processing data collected from one of the following
    machine types:

       G3, G4, G5, G5 Turbo, G6, G6 Turbo, Z900 Models

    NOTE: If processing data from a machine type not listed
          above, you will be required to update the MSU
          conversion table through the extended options
          panel.

 o  CPU Activity File (HARCPU) activated, with the following
    elements populated:

       CPCMODID - CPC Model Identifier
       CPUMOD   - Processor Model Family
       CPUMXPBS - Max Pct Processor Busy
       CPUNOCPU - Max Number of Configured Processors
       CPUPCBSY - Pct Processor Busy
       CPUTOBTM - Total Time Processor Busy
       CPUVER   - Processor Version
       PRSMCEC  - PR/SM LPAR Central Complex
       PRSMLPNO - Logical Partition Number
       PRSMNOPP - Number of Physical Processors

    Only one level is required for the CA MICS RMF product
    files (i.e., DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS), depending
    on the timespan you specify during inquiry definition.

    The number of cycles that are maintained at your
    installation for the CA MICS files determines the time
    frame for which you can produce ILM Analysis reports.
