Overview

The RMFPAG query shows paging rates for z/OS LPARs in each Central Processing Complex (CPC). The query produces the following three CSV file data extracts:

The z/OS CPC Daily Paging Rate first data extract shows the hourly CPC paging rate of all z/OS LPARs in a single chart, with the contribution with the contribution of each z/OS system shown using stacked vertical bars. The first chart sample above is an example of the charts produced by this data extract. Here you see the hourly CPC paging rate incurred for the z/OS LPARs running on an IBM z10 2097-712 CPC.

The second data extract, z/OS System Daily Page Fault Rate V1, produces daily charts for each z/OS LPAR that show the hourly system, application, and overall system page rates. The system and application page fault rates are shown using stacked vertical bars, and the overall system page rate is shown using a horizontal line. The second chart sample above is an example of the charts produced by this data extract. Here you see the hourly system and application page fault rates, and the overall system paging rate for z/OS LPAR XAL1 running on an IBM z10 2097-712 CPC.

The third data extract, z/OS System Daily Page Fault Rate V2, produces daily charts for each z/OS LPAR that show the same information as the second data extract, but in a different way. The overall system page rate is shown using vertical bars, and the system and application page fault rates are displayed using horizontal lines.
