Daily VM Resource Consumption Report

Daily VM Resource Consumption Report quantifies the total VM CPU resource consumption in seconds per hour averaged across all processor engines in the supporting computing system. This is but another way to look at percentage resource consumption. That is, if the average number of CPU seconds consumed by each processor is 1800 seconds (out of a possible 3600 seconds), then 50% of available processor capacity is being utilized.

Daily VM Resource Consumption Report quantifies the total VM CPU resource consumption in seconds per hour averaged across all processor engines in the supporting computing system. This is but another way to look at percentage resource consumption. That is, if the average number of CPU seconds consumed by each processor is 1800 seconds (out of a possible 3600 seconds), then 50% of available processor capacity is being utilized.
The management objective to be tracked for evaluating the rate of resource consumption for VM is the average CPU time (in seconds) consumed per hour.
The only user option that applies to this report is the Daily VM CPU Consumption Amount, which is the target CPU consumption (expressed in seconds) that used to set a reference line on the graph.
&VMCSAX defines the CPU consumption chart axis. &VMCSREF defines the target CPU consumption amount. Therefore, to set a target CPU (average) consumption amount of 2700 CPU seconds for any given hour, code:
     %LET VMCSAX = 3600;      %LET VMCSREF = 2700;
A full description of the user options is provided in the VM Report Options .
The following figure illustrates the Daily VM Resource Consumption Report based on a management objective of consuming less than 2700 CPU seconds (on average) during any given hour. The sample report shown here quantifies the seconds of CPU consumption with the horizontal axis representing the hours of the day and the vertical axis charting the average seconds of CPU time consumed per processing engine.
The management objective for VM resource consumption is shown by the dashed horizontal reference line printed across the chart. In the following figure, Daily VM Resource Consumption Report, the reference line is shown at the 2700 CPU seconds consumed level of the vertical axis. Therefore, any hour for which the charted bar exceeds this reference line signals that the objective to contain resource consumption was missed for that hour.
