I'm trying to learn how VM work and I'm using PERFSVM as one of the tools. I'm looking at screen FCX253 and I see in the "Stor Util %" column numbers greater than 100%. Help, how can that be? The lpar I'm looking at only has 1 gig of central storage and 512 meg of expanded. It is running z/VM 5.3 RSU 0701. It is a test lpar for the tech support staff. This lpar is used to run some Linux guest for the tech support staff to play with.
Help screen says: Stor Util % - The percentage of pageable DPA used by the working sets of in-queue (i.e. non dormant) users. <------- DPA -------> Stor Interval <--Pageable--> Nonpgb Util End Time <2GB >2GB <2GB % 05:09:22 246601 0 10953 95 05:24:22 246596 0 10958 94 05:39:22 246600 0 10954 94 05:54:22 246598 0 10956 94 06:09:22 246606 0 10948 103 06:24:22 246579 0 10975 95 06:39:22 246579 0 10975 107 06:54:22 246580 0 10974 102 07:09:22 246579 0 10975 103 07:24:22 246581 0 10973 101 07:39:22 246582 0 10972 109 07:54:22 246583 0 10971 107 08:09:22 246604 0 10950 108 08:24:22 246583 0 10971 103 08:39:22 246607 0 10947 104 Thanks Paul
