2.6.7 Requirements

CA MICS PR/SM reports enable you to track the utilization,
configuration and monitoring activity of complexes and
logical partitions on a monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly
level.  Utilization measures are reported in terms of the
percentage of a CEC consumed and shared and logical processor
usage.  Environmental measures are also provided to allow for
the tracking of configuration changes over time, and their
impact on system usage.

Figure 2-198 shows the CA MICS files and timespan levels
that must be maintained at your installation in order to
produce all of the PR/SM LPAR Analysis reports.

For these reports, only one level of the HARLPC file is
required (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 each of the CA MICS files in Figure 2-198 determines the
time frame for which you may produce PR/SM LPAR Analysis
reports.
