System CPU utilization is the percentage of time that all processors available to a system were busy dispatching work. This workspace provides information about CPU usage for the selected system. In an LPAR environment, this group also provides partition management statistics.
The System CPU Utilization workspace contains the following views:
The System CPU Utilization table also shows the long-term average CPU service used by this LPAR in millions of service units (MSUs) per hour. Data for this attribute is available only if you use defined capacity as a basis for pricing.
If CPU utilization information for an address space requires analysis, see Address Space CPU Utilization workspace.
If the HiperDispatch Management mode is on, you can see details about utilization by linking to the HiperDispatch Details workspace.
If overall system CPU utilization is too high, you may want to review
In a complex with more than one CPU, the utilization values can be computed based on the total number of processors, or normalized to a maximum of 100%. From this view, you can link to the OMEGAMON for MVS - License Manager MSU and WLM Capping workspace.
This workspace can record history.
