Suse 11SP1 running as guest on zVM 5.4 Linux guest has 4 virtual processors.
From zVM Performance Toolkit FCX112-User Resource Usage Screen, we can find a linux guest's %CPU is 55.2. Based on description, this value is percent of total used by this guest. At the same time, I logon this linux with root user and issue "top" command. I found: Cpu(s): 0.8%us, 5.9%sy, 0.0%ni, 80.7%id, 6.7%wa, 0.3%hi, 4.1%si, 1.4%st We know that linux cpu usage mainly include user cpu and sys cpu. But why performance toolkit value cannot corresponding with top command value? What's mean 55.2 %CPU on Performance Toolkit? Why it is not equal to %us + %sy Best Regards!
