David, >> Just a guess: are samples collected only when the LPAR is busy?
It does not say so (*1) and there is a bit in each sample that says LPAR was in wait. >> And if so, was the LPAR 100% busy? Zero (nothing- at all) on the machine >> If not, then I would expect the the number of samples would be proportional >> to the usage. That is very well possible, but I doubt that. I am leaning towards a very simple basic error. (*1) at least I did not stumble over something in that direction. The book that documents CPU-MF is only 38 pages and half of it is about the counter (not sampling) -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
