Foglight for Infrastructure 5.9.3

The type and extent of information appearing in the resulting Details view depends on the type of the selected object. For example, if you drill down on a PowerVM partition, the Details view consists of four tabs: Overview, CPU, Memory, Storage, and Network, each describing the relevant resource-related details.

Figure 26. PowerVM Partition Details view

Observe the information on these tabs when you want to understand the underlying cause of performance degradation. For example, unusually high values of memory usage can lead to system degradation and should be further investigated.

Exploring PowerVM partition and PowerVM VIOS overviews

The Overview tab appears open when you explore a PowerVM® partition or a PowerVM VIOS for the first time. It displays the state of the partition's processor, memory, disk, and network resources. These visual elements are connected with graphical flows that illustrate the flow of data in real time. For example, you can review the rates of incoming and outgoing network data.

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

Figure 27. PowerVM Partition Details view

Table 9. PowerVM Partition Details and PowerVM VIOS Details views
Partition/VIOS Current Status
	State		The running state of the PowerVM Partition or VIOS. Possible values include: Not Activated, Starting, Running, Shutting Down, Error, Open Firmware, Not Available.
	Current Profile		The name of the currently used PowerVM Partition or VIOS profile. A profile specifies how many processors, how much memory, and which I/O devices and slots are to be allocated to the partition. A PowerVM Partition or VIOS can have multiple profiles.
	CPU
		Process Model	The process model of the PowerVM Partition or VIOS. There are two types of processing modes: Shared and Dedicated. Shared mode allows assigning partial processor units from the shared processor pool. Dedicated mode indicates that all processor units can be assigned to one PowerVM partition or VIOS, for its own use.
		Enable Donate	Indicates if the PowerVM Partition or VIOS can donate spare processor cycles to the shared pool.
		Smt	The number of threads the PowerVM Partition or VIOS uses.
	Memory
		Memory Model	The memory model the PowerVM Partition or VIOS uses: Dedicated or Shared.
Partition/VIOS Basic Profile
	Partition/VIOS Name		The name of the PowerVM Partition or VIOS
	Partition ID		The ID of the PowerVM Partition or VIOS object in your monitored system.
	Host Type		The type of the system host on which the PowerVM Partition or VIOS object is running: Virtual or Physical.
	Logical Serial Number		The serial number of the PowerVM Partition or VIOS.
	OS Version		The OS name and version running on the PowerVM Partition or VIOS.
	Default Profile		The default PowerVM Partition or VIOS profile, indicating how resources are assigned to that component (selected or all resources). If the current profile does not exist, the system loads this default profile. A profile specifies how many processors, how much memory, and which I/O devices and slots are to be allocated to the partition. A PowerVM Partition or VIOS can have multiple profiles.
NOTE: For information about the other views also appearing in PowerVM Partition Details view, see the Foglight User Guide.

Exploring managed server profiles

The Server Profile tab appearing on the managed server view displays system configuration information about the selected managed server. Use it to find out the overall capacity of the physical system hosting multiple logical partitions.

To navigate to this tab, in the Selected Service PowerVM view, select a managed server, and click Explore.

Figure 28. Server Profile tab

Table 10. Server Profile tab
Type Model			The managed server model number.
Serial Num			The managed server serial number.
IP Address			The primary IP address of the managed server in your monitored environment.
Secondary IP Address			The secondary IP address of the managed server.
WWPNs Remain Count			The remaining number of world wide port names (WWPNs).
Processor
	Installed Sys Proc Units		The number of processor units allocated to the managed server.
		Configurable Sys Proc Units	The number of processor units that can be allocated to the shared processor pool and reallocated to PowerVM partitions associated with the managed server.
		Deconfig Sys Proc Units	The number of processor units that cannot be allocated to the shared processor pool.
	Max Shared Proc Pools		The maximum number of shared processor pools associated with the managed server.
	Max Shared Proc Per LPAR		The maximum number of shared processor units allocated to each PowerVM partition associated with the managed server.
	Max Procs Per LPAR		The maximum number of processor units allocated to each PowerVM partition associated with the managed server.
Memory
	Installed System Memory		The amount of system memory allocated to this managed server.
		Configurable System Memory	The portion of system memory that can be allocated to the shared memory pool and reallocated to PowerVM partitions associated with the managed server.
		Deconfig System Memory	The portion of system memory that cannot be allocated to the shared memory pool.

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.

Figure 29. CPU tab

Table 11. 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.
Related Processor Pool
	Processor Pool Name	The name of the processor pool associated with this PowerVM partition or VIOS.
	Usage History	The number of processing units allocated to this processor pool that are used 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.
