CPC LPAR Summary History attributes

This table provides information related to the CPC's capacity and the utilization of it's processors.

Adjustment Reason The capacity adjustment reason. This reason is present on supporting hardware. Various reasons may be presented for adjusting the capacity of a machine, for example to reduce cycle rates of CPs due to overheating or user initiated power saving. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:

Capacity Indicator (RMF metric) The 4-character capacity adjustment indicator. This attribute applies to late model machines where cycle steering can occur as a result of Power Saving controls available to the operator, or as a result of overheating or other problems that the machine attempts to mitigate by autonomously reducing the chip clock speed. A value of 100 indicates that the hardware is operating normally at 100% capacity. Values below 100 indicate that an adjustment has occurred and the Adjustment Reason value indicates the reason for the adjustment. A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".

CPC Serial Number (RMF metric) The machine serial number (last six hexadecimal digits). A valid value is a string of up to 6 characters.

Effective MSU Capacity (RMF metric) The Central Processor Complex (CPC) capacity in millions of service units per hour (MSU/Hr), either full or adjusted. If cycle steering is in effect, this value will be less than the capability of the hardware. A valid value is an integer.

LPAR Name (RMF metric) The partition name. A valid value is a string of up to 8 characters.

Notes:

  1. Partitions identified by the name PHYSICAL are not configured partitions. Data reported in these lines includes the time during which a physical CPU was busy, but the time could not be attributed to a specific logical partition.
  2. Starting with z9 processors, IFLs (Integrated Facility for Linux) and zAAPs are reported separately and no longer as ICFs (Internal Coupling Facility).

Managed System The z/OS operating system in your enterprise that an OMEGAMON for z/OS agent is monitoring. A valid value is a string of up to 32 characters.

Physical % ICF (RMF metric) The physical CPU percentage of ICFs consumed across the CPC. The total utilization of the physical processors by the partition. This data is based on the total interval time of all physical processors and includes LPAR management time. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.0. A value of -1 indicates "No ICFs Online".

Physical % IFL (RMF metric) The physical CPU percentage of IFLs consumed across the CPC. The total utilization of the physical processors by the partition. This data is based on the total interval time of all physical processors and includes LPAR management time. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.0. A value of -1 indicates "No IFLs Online".

Physical % Standard CP (RMF metric) The physical CPU percentage of Standard CPs consumed across the CPC. The total utilization of the physical processors by the partition. This data is based on the total interval time of all physical processors and includes LPAR management time. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.0. A value of -1 indicates "No GCPs Online".

Physical % zAAP (RMF metric) The physical CPU percentage of zAAPs consumed across the CPC. The total utilization of the physical processors by the partition. This data is based on the total interval time of all physical processors and includes LPAR management time. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.0. A value of -1 indicates "No zAAPs Online".

Physical % zCBP (RMF metric) The physical CPU percentage of zCBPs consumed across the CPC. The total utilization of the physical processors by the CPC. This data is based on the total interval time of all physical processors and includes LPAR management time. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "No zCBPs Online".

Physical % zIIP (RMF metric) The physical CPU percentage of System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) consumed across the CPC. The total utilization of the physical processors by the partition. This data is based on the total interval time of all physical processors and includes LPAR management time. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.0. A value of -1 indicates "No zIIPs Online".

Recording End Time Time at the end of the RMF reporting interval for the current row of near-term historical data. This time is displayed in the following format:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss (Tivoli Enterprise Portal) or yy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss (3270)

Where:

This time is stored as a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

Recording Start Time Time at the start of the RMF reporting interval for the current row of near-term historical data. This time is displayed in the following format:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss (Tivoli Enterprise Portal) or yy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss (3270)

Where:

This time is stored as a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

RMF Status Status indications for availability of RMF and lock data. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:

Sample Period Sample period in seconds. A valid value is an integer.
