Also, this presupposes that the one asking the question has Velocity Software performance products, and sufficient background z/VM performance analysis to utilize them in this fashion. The original question would seem to eliminate the second supposition. That's not a flame at Sunny, experience comes from experience and it's obvious that even experienced list members have come up with MANY different ways to derive an answer. I'm still waiting for Sunny to define the actual requirement more thoroughly. To what use will this information be put? Knowing that, an appropriate solution can be devised. Without that, it is if senior management asked "How many guests are running on z/VM?" Without knowing if they are talking about server consolidation, more about those servers; or whether they want to know for many CMS users are still on the box, etc., (imagination can run wild) -- who knows to what evil they might put the answer?

With my apologies for the formatting, this shows uptime in hours, kernel level and host name... esamon table 25 format{tcpsys.uptime/360000,6,1} subword{tcpsys.description,3,1} tcpip.node ; node * while vsisys.samples > 0 158.5 2.6.18-128.el5 redhat5 3061.7 2.4.20-8custom linuxd 3520.8 2.6.5-7.191-s390 suselnx1 1093.6 2.6.11.4-20a-default linux93 542.1 2.6.16.60-0.21-smp linux64 3520.8 2.6.5-7.191-s390 suselnx2 48.2 2.6.27.19-5-default broblx2 233.9 2.6.16.60-0.21-default suselnx3 3519.3 2.4.21-50.EL redhat3 1007.2 2.6.27.19-5-default sles11 235.4 2.6.5-7.308-s390x sles9x 234.6 2.6.9-67.EL redhat01 The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
