I have gone thru 2 CPU changes of late. In both cases I was fortunate in having ESAMON from Velocity Software and was able to track the CPU utilization for a period of time before we made the decision on what size PU to get. If you are able to get ESAMON involved, I can help in getting some reporting started.

Subject: z/VM 5.1 CPU Utilization

 

We are looking at upgrading from z/VM 4.3 to supported z/VM 5.1. Because z/VM 5.1 will not run on our 9672-x27, we will have to upgrade boxes first. We need to choose a new box based on what capacity we will be needing. We are aware of several changes to z/VM between versions (i.e. 64 bit capability). Has anyone noticed any CPU utilization increases related to the migration? If so, how much?

 

Thanks in advance,  Tim
