This table provides MSU (Millions of Service Units per hour) utilization information. This information includes summary and detailed 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU, LPAR and LPAR Group usage, limits, and WLM capping. LPAR group attributes are shown as "Unavailable" if the LPAR is not in an LPAR group.
% LPAR Capped The percentage of the LPAR capacity consumed by the LPAR while capped by WLM soft-capping. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.00.
% LPAR MSU Capacity The percentage of the Entitled or Defined Capacity Millions of Service Units (MSUs) of this LPAR. If no Defined Capacity is specified for the LPAR, the Entitled MSUs effectively cap the maximum service an LPAR can consume. The Entitled value is based on the number of logical standard CPs configured to the LPAR, including any that are on standby. This number, multiplied by the MSU rating of a single physical standard CP, sets the Entitled service. If LPAR Group Capping is in effect for this LPAR, the Group LPAR MSU Limit establishes the maximum service that the LPAR can consume. A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.0.
% LPAR Uncapped The percentage of the LPAR capacity, in Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs/Hr), consumed by the LPAR while uncapped. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.00.
% Time Capped The percentage of the time period that the LPAR was capped by WLM soft-capping. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.00.
% Time Uncapped The percentage of the time period that the LPAR was uncapped. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.00.
4 Hour MSUs The four-hour rolling average value of the Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs/Hr). The value is updated every five minutes. It is the average of the previous 48 5-minute samples, which in turn are the average of 30 samples, taken every 10 secs. To avoid capping during system start up (IPL), the calculation of the 4-hour rolling average assumes that the system has run for four hours without load, so for the first four hours after IPL the rolling average is not valid. A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Average % Group Capacity The percentage of the LPAR Group Limit consumed over the 4-Hour rolling average period period. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value will be displayed as "Unavailable". 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 "Unavailable".
Average % Time Capped If the LPAR has a Defined Capacity set, the percentage of time during the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU period when the LPAR was capped by WLM. 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 "Unavailable".
Average % Time Uncapped If the LPAR has a Defined Capacity set, the percentage of time during the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU period when the LPAR was uncapped. 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 "Unavailable".
Average Unused Group MSUs The number of Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs/Hr) that were available to the LPAR Group over the Rolling Average 4-hour period, but were not used. If the value is zero or negative, the LPAR is subject to LPAR Group Capping. If this capping is in effect, the Group LPAR MSU Limit can vary between the LPAR Group Entitled Minimum service and the Group Capacity Limit. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group this value will be displayed as "Unavailable". A valid value is an integer. A value of 2147483647 indicates "Unavailable".
Average Used Group MSUs If this LPAR is a member of an LPAR Group, the average number of MSUs that were consumed by the LPAR Group over the Rolling Average 4-hour period. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value will be displayed as "Unavailable". A valid value is a number to one decimal place accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Capped MSUs/Hour The Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs/Hr) consumed by the LPAR during the time period while capped by WLM soft-capping. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy.
Current % Group Capacity If this LPAR is a member of an LPAR Group, the percentage of the LPAR Group Capacity Limit consumed by the LPAR Group over the time period. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 200.00. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Current Unused Group MSUs If this LPAR is a member of an LPAR Group, the number of Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs/Hr) that were available to the LPAR Group over the time period but were not used. If the value is zero or negative, the LPAR is subject to LPAR Group Capping. If this capping is in effect, the previous Group LPAR MSU Limit can vary between the LPAR Group Entitled Minimum service and the Group Capacity Limit. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value is displayed as "Unavailable". A valid value is an integer. A value of 2147483647 indicates "Unavailable".
Current Used Group MSUs If this LPAR is a member of an LPAR Group, the number of Millions of Service Units (MSUs) that were consumed by the LPAR Group over the time period. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value will be displayed as "Unavailable". A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Group LPAR MSU Limit The Millions of Service Unit (MSU) limit enforced by the LPAR Group. This limit varies between the LPAR's Entitled Capacity and the LPAR Group Capacity. When a Defined Capacity is specified for the LPAR, this value never exceeds that limit. If no Defined Capacity is specified for the LPAR, the limit can be as high as the LPAR Group Limit. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value is displayed as "Unavailable". A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
LPAR Capacity Limit The LPAR Capacity Limit in Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs/Hr). A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
LPAR Capacity Limit Basis The basis used to establish the LPAR Capacity Limit. Entitled means the LPAR Capacity Limit is based on the aggregate service units that could be delivered to the LPAR if all the logical CPUs configured to the LPAR used 100% of a physical CPU. Defined means that the LPAR Capacity Limit is set through the LPAR Configuration panel of the Hardware Management Console.
