--- snip --- In LPAR mode, if a Logical Processor is not dispatched by PR/SM then it does not accumulate wait time even though it is actually waiting. This means that MVS % Busy is greater than actual time that LP within the LPAR were dispatched by PR/SM and busy.
LPAR busy is the right number, though a large difference between MVS % Busy and LPAR busy is indication of a saturated LPAR. --- snip --- What does SDSF show me? I often see a large difference between LPAR% and MVS% in RMF. I don't have the RMF data in front of me now to confirm that this only happens when the CPC is maxed out.
