MAXIMUM Statement
The syntax of the Maximum statement is:
CPUTYPE
Specifies the type and subtype of a processor.
type
Specifies the processor type in the range 0 through 9.
subtype
Specifies the processor subtype in the range 0 through 11.
CPU
Indicates maximum values are being specified by cpu-num instead of by
CPUTYPE. The cpu-num provides an alternate way of specifying the MAX values
for a processor. This form defines the maximum values for either a single CPU or,
when the alternate form CPU * is used, the maximum values for all processors.
cpu-num specifies the CPU number for the maximum values.
By using the MAX CPU number form of the MAXIMUM statement, you can customize
the maximum normalization values for a node for each CPU based on empirical
observation.
CPUTYPE or CPU are followed by metric value pairs.
metric
Specifies the monitored performance metric property.
MAX [ CPUTYPE type:subtype ] metric value [,] ...
[ CPU cpu-num ]
Where:
cpunum ::= * | 0, 1, 2...15
* ::= Specifies all CPUs.
metric ::= A monitored performance metric such as: busy,
diskio, pagefault,
value ::= CONFIG | number DEFAULT
number ::= Any positive number.
Metric Name

CACHEHIT 9000 Disk cache hit rate for this CPU in hits per second
