KM5 License Manager MSU WLM Cap

This attribute group provides MSU (Millions of Service Units per hour) utilization information. This information includes summary and detailed 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU, LPAR and LPAR Group usage, limits, and WLM capping. LPAR group attributes are shown as "Unavailable" if the LPAR is not in an LPAR group.

4 Hour MSUs Four-hour rolling average value of the millions of service units per hour (MSUs). The value is updated every five minutes. It is the average of the previous 48 5-minute samples, which in turn are the average of 30 samples, taken every 10 secs. To avoid capping during system start up (IPL), the calculation of the 4-hour rolling average assumes that the system has run for four hours without load, so for the first four hours after IPL the rolling average is not valid. Valid value is an integer in the range 0 to 2147483647.

Average Percent Time Capped If the LPAR has a Defined Capacity set, the percentage to 1 decimal place, of time during the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU period when the LPAR was capped by WLM.

Average Percent Time Uncapped If the LPAR has a Defined Capacity set, the percentage to 1 decimal place, of time during the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU period when the LPAR was uncapped.

Average Unused Group MSUs The number of Millions of Service Units per Hour that were available to the LPAR Group over the Rolling Average 4-hour period, but were not used. If the value is zero or negative, the LPAR is subject to LPAR Group Capping. If this capping is in effect, the Group LPAR MSU Limit can vary between the LPAR Group Entitled Minimum service and the Group Capacity Limit.

Capped MSUs/Hour The Millions of Service Units per Hour consumed by the LPAR during the time period while capped by WLM soft-capping.

Group LPAR MSU Limit The MSU limit enforced by the LPAR Group. This limit varies between the LPAR's entitled capacity and the LPAR group capacity. When a defined capacity is specified for the LPAR, this value never exceeds that limit. If no defined capacity is specified for the LPAR, the limit can be as high as the LPAR group limit. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value is displayed as "Unavailable".

LPAR Capacity Limit The LPAR Capacity Limit in Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs).

LPAR Capacity Limit Basis The basis used to establish the LPAR Capacity Limit Entitled means the LPAR Capacity Limit is based on the aggregate service units that could be delivered to the LPAR if all the logical CPUs configured to the LPAR used 100% of a physical CPU. Defined means that the LPAR Capacity Limit is set through the LPAR Configuration panel of the Hardware Management Console. The z/OS Workload Manager will cap the service delivered to the LPAR when the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSUs reaches this level.

LPAR Defined Capacity Set The LPAR Defined Capacity in Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs).

LPAR Group Capacity Limit If this LPAR is a member of an LPAR group, the LPAR Group Capacity Limit in Millions of Service Units per Hour (MSUs). Capping of an LPAR Group is based on the 4-hour Rolling Average MSUs consumed by all the member LPARs of the LPAR Group. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR group, this value appears as Unavailable.

LPAR Group Name The name of the LPAR Group, from 1 to 8 characters.

Managed System The z/OS operating system in your enterprise where the OMEGAMON XE on z/OS monitoring agent collected the data. Valid value is a character string with a maximum length of 32 bytes.

Percent LPAR Capped The percentage of the LPAR capacity consumed by the LPAR while capped by WLM soft-capping.

Percent LPAR MSU Capacity Percentage of the Entitled or Defined Capacity MSUs of this LPAR, to 1 decimal place. If no Defined Capacity is specified for the LPAR, the Entitled MSUs effectively cap the maximum service an LPAR can consume. The Entitled value is based on the number of logical standard CPs configured to the LPAR, including any that are on standby. This number, multiplied by the MSU rating of a single physical standard CP, sets the Entitled service. If LPAR Group Capping is in effect for this LPAR, the Group LPAR MSU Limit establishes the maximum service that the LPAR can consume.

Percent LPAR Uncapped The percentage of the LPAR capacity Millions of Service Units per Hour consumed by the LPAR while uncapped.

Percent Time Capped The percentage of the time period that the LPAR was capped by WLM soft capping.

Percent Time Uncapped The percentage of the time period that the LPAR was uncapped.

Record Type The type of record type, either Summary or Detail. There is one Summary record and several Detail records.

Note: Data for this attribute is available only if you have opted to use a defined capacity limit, otherwise Not available is displayed.

Time Period The time period covered in the sample for this row. This is a 5-minute period, except for the most recent entry, which will be from 0 to 5 minutes. Format is HH:MM-HH:MM, for example, 13:46-13:51.

Uncapped MSUs/Hour The Millions of Service Units per Hour consumed by the LPAR during the time period while uncapped.

Unused Group MSUs/Hour If this LPAR is a member of an LPAR group, the number of Millions of Service Units per Hour that were available to the LPAR group over the time period but was not used. If the value is zero or negative, the LPAR is subject to LPAR Group Capping. If this capping is in effect, the previous Group LPAR MSU Limit can vary between the LPAR Group Entitled Minimum service and the Group Capacity Limit. If the LPAR is not in an LPAR Group, this value is displayed as Unavailable.
