Detail VMX User States Summary

Detail VMX User States Summary report produces a tabular listing of user states (various wait states, running, and so on) in time sequence.
micsrm140
The information is summarized by the number of minutes specified by the user as a run-time execution parameter. Activity is displayed over the period of time specified by the user, again as run-time execution parameters.
Intended use
This report is designed for monitoring the kinds of states in which users are spending their time. It can be used to see whether users are often waiting for a particular resource (such as the CPU, or I/O).
Format
A tabular report in chronological order, where each line represents a summarization of DETAIL data across a user- specified period of time. The time column represents the timestamp of the end of the summarized interval. The first set of columns report on the VMDBKs in the dispatch list, and what states they are in. Each value is an average for a monitor interval:
TIDL
Number of VMDBKs in test idle but not SVM (Service Virtual Machine) wait
SVM
Number of VMDBKs in SVM (Service Virtual Machine) wait
I/O
Number of VMDBKs in I/O wait
CF
Number of VMDBKs in console function wait
SIM
Number of VMDBKs in simulation wait
PAG
Number of VMDBKs in page wait
CPU
Number of VMDBKs in CPU wait
RUN
Number of VMDBKs running on a CPU
ASIO
Number of VMDBKs in asynchronous I/O wait
OTHER
Number of VMDBKs in an undefined state
QDSP
Number of Quickdisp VMDBKs in the dispatch list
TOTAL
Total number of VMDBKs in the dispatch list
The next two columns are for the eligible list:
TOTAL
Total number of VMDBKs in the eligible list
SVM
Number of VMDBKs on the eligible list that are in SVM (Service Virtual Machine) wait
The last two columns are for the dormant list:
TOTAL
Total number of VMDBKs in the dormant list
SVM
Number of VMDBKs on the dormant list that are in SVM (Service Virtual Machine) wait
An example of this report is shown in the Detail VMX User States Summary sample.

Calculations
The various elements to be reported on are summarized across the user-specified time period, if necessary. All reported elements are then averaged by dividing by the number of monitor recording intervals.
Usage considerations
To obtain a detail report, with one line per monitor interval, specify 0 for the summarization period in the run-time execution parameters.
