Investigating the use of PowerVM partition and VIOS processor resources

The CPU tab of the Partition detail view or VIOS detail view shows the amount of processor resources dedicated to the selected object and their entitlement mode. It also shows the top processor consumers on the host, the top processes’ utilization trends, and illustrates the processor load.

To navigate to this tab, in the Selected Service PowerVM view, select a PowerVM® partition or a VIOS, click Explore, and in the view that appears, open the CPU tab.

CPU Entitlement
	Currently Entitled	The number of processing units allocated to this PowerVM partition or VIOS.
	Entitlement Mode	Indicates if the processor resources allocated to PowerVM partition or VIOS can be allocated to the shared processor pool and reallocated to other PowerVM partitions or virtual I/O servers.
	Virtual Process	The number of processors allocated to the virtual process associated with this PowerVM partition or VIOS.
	Entitlement History	The number of processing units allocated to this PowerVM partition or VIOS over the selected time range.

View all partitions on this processor pool		Clicking this link displays the All Partitions in Pool dialog box that lists all PowerVM partitions that use this processor pool, their entitlement, utilization, and usage.
NOTE: The other views also appearing on this tab are defined on the Management Server and as such are documented in the Foglight™ User Guide.

Investigating the use of PowerVM partition and VIOS memory resources

The Memory tab of the Partition detail view or VIOS detail view shows the amount of memory resources dedicated to the selected PowerVM® partition or PowerVM VIOS, their entitlement model, and identifies the managed server on which the partition is running. It also shows the overall memory utilization on the selected partition and the amount of memory the top processes are consuming. The Top Memory Consumers table lists both resident and virtual sizes for the top processes.

To navigate to this tab, in the Selected Service PowerVM view, select a PowerVM partition or PowerVM VIOS, click Explore, and in the view that appears, open Memory tab.

Exploring processor, memory, and storage breakdowns

The Breakdown views on the CPU, Memory, and Storage tabs of the managed server details view, and on the Storage tab of the VIOS details view show the amount of processor, memory, and storage resources the selected managed server or PowerVM® VIOS uses from the Global Default Pool over the selected time range. Use this view to find out how the selected object uses the allocated resources, and if there are any patterns indicating their usage levels that may potentially compromise the stability of your infrastructure.

To navigate to this tab, in the Selected Service PowerVM view, select a managed server, or a PowerVM VIOS, and click Explore. Open the CPU (PowerVM servers only), Memory (PowerVM servers only), or Storage tab, and then open the Breakdown tab.
