Average CPU Utilization (ACUCHRT)
Average CPU Utilization (ACUCHRT)
This 74-column chart, sorted by CPU number, displays the average utilization of each
CPU and the component parts of this utilization including:
•
Interrupt handling
•
Primary disk process utilization
•
Backup disk process utilization
•
All other process utilization
This chart uses the GLOBINFO and CPUTIL entities.
Parameters used are:
•
LID—specifies the Measure Load ID
•
SECTION—specifies the report section number
Average Disc Utilization (ADUCHRT)
This 80-column chart displays the average utilization of each physical disk drive. It
displays:
•
The primary (driving) CPU
•
Primary disk controller
•
Drive utilization and the component parts of this utilization, including:
°
Seek busy, if reported separately by the disk subsystem
°
Write busy
°
Read busy
This chart uses the DGLOBAL and DISC entities.
Parameters used are:
