A few weeks ago, I put a package on the VM download library called "VIR2REAL", which is an exec that calculates the ratio on your running system. I just got an update out there today that gives you the ratio for all users and also with out CMS users. (I figure a CMS user is one IPLed with a certain set of NSS names.) I did not include expanded storage in the calculation, but it would be pretty easy to add. See http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?VIR2REAL for the package.
