Weekly VM Resource Consumption Report

Weekly 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 for the week being reported. 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 approximately 50% of available processor capacity is being utilized.

Weekly 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 for the week being reported. 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 approximately 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 Weekly VM CPU Consumption Amount, which is the target CPU consumption (expressed in seconds) is used to set a reference line on the graph.
&VMCWSAX defines the CPU consumption chart axis. &VMCWSRF defines the target CPU consumption amount. Therefore, to define an objective (reference line) of 2700 CPU seconds consumed out of every hour (or 3600 CPU seconds), code:
     %LET VMCWSAX = 3600;      %LET VMCWSRF = 2700;
A full description of the user options is provided in the VM Report Options.
The following figure, Weekly VM Resource Consumption Report Format - CPU Time, illustrates the Weekly 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, Weekly VM Resource Consumption Report Format
CPU Time, 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.
