RMF PR/SM Related Hardware and SCP Analyzer Files
The organization of the PR/SM logical partitions' information within the
MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer
files is driven by the structure of the SMF type 70 subtype 1 CPU, PR/SM, and ICF Activity record as described in Support of PR/SM LPAR Mode by RMF.rm
The organization of the PR/SM logical partitions' information within the
MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer
files is driven by the structure of the SMF type 70 subtype 1 CPU, PR/SM, and ICF Activity record as described in Support of PR/SM LPAR Mode by RMF.Four files are derived from the SMF type 70 subtype 1 record:
HARIPU
Individual Processor Activity File
HARCPU
CPU Processor Activity File
HARVPA
Logical Processor Activity File
HARLPC
Logical Partition Activity File
As far as CPU resource consumption is concerned, they should be seen as two pairs of parallel files:
- The HARIPU/HARCPU files provide an "inside z/OS" view of the system that created the SMF record.
- The HARVPA/HARLPC files describe the activity of all logical partitions defined, as seen from PR/SM perspective. This not only includes the recording system but also all other LPARs, even if they do not produce any SMF record.
