Correct, it's crazy.
The only thing you have is the CPU (and channel I believe) busy monitor
of the HMC. It's for free which immediatley indicates its value.
It is like driving a car with the windows painted black, but with a
working speedometer. You won't see where and when you will crash, but
MXI can produce CPU stats for address spaces without RMF/CMF - however in NO
WAY does MXI even attempt to produce SMF records 70-79 or emulate the ERBSMFI
interface.
MXI does use RMF/CMF for the following :
(1) LPAR and LCPU statistics (RMF record intercept)
(2) Processor-wide CPU statistics
