You will not get accurate data that way because service units are not accumulated only for CPU usage. You'd do better to get CPU times from SMF data. That said, however, the Planning: Workload Management manual has a chart showing the number of service units per second for each processor in Appendix B. It is also in the Init and Tuning Guide, section 3.5.2, Preparing an Initial OPT. For your z900 model 102, the number is 10891.8 service units per second of CPU time. This is the factor that is used to calculate unweighted CPU service units per second from CPU time. You'll need to adjust for the CPU service coefficient. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
