The percentage of time (non-overlapped CPU time) that a CPU was busy, and no disk device was busy.

The percentage of time that the CPU or all CPUs in a multiprocessor system were idle and at least one disk device

Multi I/O

The percentage of time that two or more of the disk devices were busy.

CPU+IO Busy

The percentage of time (overlapped CPU and I/O time) that both the CPU (at least one CPU in a multiprocessor system)and at least one disk device were busy.
