The following options are provided for defining VM Management Objective Reports. The names of the SAS MACRO variables used for option definition are also given.
Data Selection Macro Definitions
Hourly Selection Range for Daily Reports
The start and end hours of the day that are to be included in the Daily VMC Reports. We suggest that the hours be set to include the entire day (i.e., 00 23).
- &VMCDLHR and &VMCDHHR define the low and high hours of the day for selection of the VM activity to be reported in the daily reports.
Hourly Selection Range for Weekly Reports
The start and end hours of the day that are to be included in the Weekly VMC Reports. We suggest that the hours be set to include only the prime-time hours (e.g., 08 16).
- &VMCWLHR and &VMCWHHR define the low and high hours of the days for selection of the VM activity to be reported in the weekly reports.
Zone Selection for Monthly Reporting
The zone or range of zones that are to be included in the Monthly VM Reports. Normally all zones should be reported and therefore the range should be 1 to 9. The VM Reports could be limited to only the range of zones required.
- &VMCLOZN and &VMCHIZN define the low and high zones in the months input for selection of the VM activity to be reported in the monthly reports.
Q1 Service Macro Definitions
Average Q1 Service Objective
The average service time of all VM Q1 requests that were satisfied within a specified number of seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for total VM activity (e.g., maintain the average at a level below three seconds)
- &VMCDSECX and &VMCSEC define maximum scaling for vertical axis and the reference line for the average Q1 service time in the daily reports.
- &VMCWSECX and &VMCWSEC define maximum scaling for vertical axis and the reference line for the average Q1 service time in the weekly reports.
- &VMCMSECX and &VMCMSEC define maximum scaling for vertical axis and the reference line for the average Q1 service time in the monthly reports.
Availability Macro Definitions
Hourly VM Outage Limits
The target number of uptime minutes per hour, generally set to 60, and the downtime objective per hour, which is generally set to 0 minutes
- &VMCDUTX and &VMCUT define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the hourly uptime target reference line for daily reports.
- &VMCWUTX and &VMCWUT define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the hourly uptime target reference line for weekly reports.
Monthly Availability Percentage
The percent of uptime VM is targeted to be available in any given month for the selected zones
- &VMCMPCT and &VMCRPCT define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for the percent of VM uptime by zone in the monthly reports.
Throughput Macro Definitions
Hourly VM Q1 Drop Rate
The target and maximum number of Q1 drops processed per hour by VM. The target amount is used for a reference line on the graph and the maximum is used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.
- &VMCCAX and &VMCCREF define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for hourly command rate execution in the daily reports.
- &VMCWCAX and &VMCWCRF define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for commands executed by hour in the weekly reports.
- &VMCMCAX and &VMCMCRF define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for commands executed by zone in the monthly reports.
CPU Resource Consumption Macro Definitions
VM CPU Consumption Amount
The target and maximum CPU seconds per hour for VM. The target amount is used for a reference line on the graph and the maximum is used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.
- &VMCSAX and &VMCSREF define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for CPU consumption by hour in the daily reports.
- &VMCWSAX and &VMCWSRF define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for CPU consumption by hour in the weekly reports.
- &VMCMSAX and &VMCMSRF define maximum scaling for the vertical axis and the reference line for CPU consumption by zone in the monthly reports.
The VM Report Options, which are defined as SAS MACRO variables, are contained in the source member #VMCMOBJ in the sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE library. The next section shows the member and describes how to modify the options.
