IBM's replacement for both RTM (realtime monitoring) and the Performance Reporting Facility (batch mode processing of CP monitor data) on current z/VM releases is the z/VM Performance Toolkit. RTM and PRF are no longer supported on 5.1. The good news is that the Performance Toolkit comes pre-installed, so you should already have it. And I believe customers with RTM or PRF licences can still migrate to PerfKit free of charge and only have to pay a different maintenance fee.

(BTW: While it is still possible to use the VMC interface, that is no longer the recommended method for performance data retrieval with PerfKit; have a look at the documentation.)

I am using a exec called DSMART (in place for years)  which runs the
following commands:

     &TRACE OFF
     VMC SMART D &1 &2 &3 &4 &5

Is there another facility/command that I should be using under z/VM 5.1?

RTM/ESA is not supported on V5 systems, is it? Or have you written a VMC
EXEC that invokes ESAMON?

Subject:           "VMC SMART D " command

We upgraded from z/VM 4.3 to z/VM 5.1 a few months ago. Since the upgrade,
the "VMC SMART D" command seems to work differently. Specifically, it only
shows the top three users of the CPU. Under z/VM 4.3, it also showed some
device information. Does anyone have any ideas, or can anyone point me to
the documentation?

Thank you
