Agree with the stacked graph of LPARs. But one plea: Do it by processor pool for (at least) GCPs and zIIPs. (IFLs might be meaningful, ICFs less likely, zAAPs possibly.)
Which takes us away from one number. :-) Cheers, Martin Martin Packer, zChampion, Principal Systems Investigator, Worldwide Banking Center of Excellence, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: [email protected] Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker Blog: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/MartinPacker From: Elardus Engelbrecht <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 11/05/2015 07:28 Subject: Re: Performance question - handling of max CPU % utilization Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Shane Ginnane wrote: >Don't.

One number does not tell the story truthfully. >Don't use the LPAR MVS busy numbers. Period. Go to the Partition Data Report and give those numbers to your boss. Nice graph, simple stacked area graph with the CEC capacity as a big black line at the top. As Allan Staller and Barbara Nitz both kindly said, I should look at the CEC and PR/SM data as RMF samples it. I will use LPAR averages, but to show how really busy the CEC is, I will use other measures. But it helps that I handle each CEC separately, I do not combine any data in one big set of data, simply because the different CEC have different type of workload. >The RMF Spreadsheet reporter probably does, Indeed, as others said, this is the tool I should look at it. I also experimented with that RMF portal in the weekend which is already proving very useful for my purpose. Many thanks to all for your kind replies! Much appreciated!
