Detail VMX LPAR Utilization Report
This report produces a tabular listing of the processor resource consumption for logical partitions defined in your PR/SM complex for a user-defined interval.
micsrm140cd
Run-time execution parameters for this report include:
- the database unit identifier or identifiers on which you want to report
- the range of file cycles on which you want to report (both online and archive cycles are available)
- the SYSID of the system on which you want to report
- the length of the interval period on which you want to report
- the period of time that is represented in the report
Intended Use
Enables you to review CPU utilization for each LPAR defined in your PR/SM complex. Includes the configuration of your logical partitions.
Format
A tabular listing that contains one line of information for each logical partition defined in the interval. The following columns are shown on the report:
INQUIRY
The MICF inquiry identifier.
SYSID
The name of the system from which the data was collected.
Date
The date when the data was captured in the
MICS database
.RUN DATE
The date when the inquiry was submitted for execution.
End Time
The end of the reporting interval.
CPC Physical Cores
Type
The type of physical core (CP, zIIP, zAAP, IFL, and ICF).
Tot
The total number of physical cores of each type in the CPC.
Shr
The number of physical cores in the shared core pool for each type.
Logical Partition
No.
The PR/SM partition number. An asterisk (*) indicates the artificial LPAR that is named "PHYSICAL" where PR/SM management overhead that cannot be attributed to any of the logical partitions is reported.
Name
The name of the logical partition.
Flags
O (Owner)
If an "X" appears in this column, the logical partition is the one that runs the VM system from which the LPAR data was collected.
S (Shared)
If an "X" appears in this column, the LPAR shares the physical processors with other LPARs. If the column is blank, the physical processors are dedicated to the LPAR.
W (Wait Completion=On)
If an "X" appears in this column, the LPAR receives service from the shared physical processors based on the passage of a time interval (as opposed to receiving service based on the occurrence of an event).
C (Capped)
If an "X" appears in this column, the PR/SM capping function is enabled. The LPAR receives only up to its share of physical processor resources based on its processing weight.
Log Core Cnt
The number of active logical cores of each type assigned to the LPAR.
Int
The number of monitor sample intervals.
Wgt
The LPAR weight assigned to each core type for the LPAR. Valid values range from 1 through 999.
DISPATCH TIME
Total
The total physical core time accumulated by each logical core over the reporting interval. If WAIT COMPLETION=On, total dispatch time includes wait time.
Average
The average amount of physical core time accumulated by each logical core in a monitor interval.
Percent Utilization
Avg
The average percentage of time that logical cores were dispatched over the reporting interval.
Min
The minimum percentage of time that logical cores were dispatched over the reporting interval.
Max
The maximum percentage of time that logical cores were dispatched over the reporting interval.
LPAR Management Overhead
Total
The amount of dispatch time used to manage each core type for the LPAR during the reporting interval. For the LPAR that is named "PHYSICAL," this is the time spent managing the physical configuration of the processor complex.
%
The percentage of physical processor time that was spent managing this LPAR as opposed to doing work in the LPAR. For the LPAR that is named "PHYSICAL," this is the percentage of time spent managing the physical configuration of the processor complex.

Calculations
The Flags in the report are derived as follows:
O
The owner flag (OWNER) is set to "X" if the value of LPRCOLCT is greater than 0.
S
The shared flag (SHRD) is set to "X" if LPRSHRMD is greater than 0.
W
The wait completion flag (WAITF) is set to "X" if the value of LPRWAITF is greater than 0.
C
The capping flag (CAPP) is set to "X" if the value of LPRCAPP is greater than 0.
The average LPAR dispatch time (AVGLPDTM) per core type is computed as follows:
AVGLPDTM = LPRTxDTM/LPRLPAR;
where x is:
- "I" - ICF cores
- "N" - IFL cores
- "O" - CP cores
- "S" - zIIP cores
- "Z" - zAAP cores
