Ach Peter, why do you have to go and make it even more complicated for me?!? :-) So reality is exactly reverse to what I thought before I asked here - the slower cp is the measure and not the faster cp. For the 'box'-Grafik that is easy to answer - we do have a separate grafik for IFL, ZIIP and general CP usage, precisely because things are normalized to 100%, and when I simply added the ziip usage, the grafic broke. So our lone ziip (shared by almost all lpars) got it's own grafik. I don't show any ziip usage by workload in an lpar. I do a printout of the biggest consumers on the ziip. So far that has been enough. ziip time is only added for accounting purposes, and they don't get 'pretty pictures'. But thanks for your explanation, I'll keep that in mind when my management wants more detailed stuff about ziips. :-) Best regards, Barbara ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
