No, monitor data does NOT contain storage information from other LPARs. The CPU information comes from the HMC and is only available to show CPU consumption by the LPAR - nothing within.

Hello, I am trying to capture performance data with cp3kvmxt and I am having trouble to get anything more than CPU utilization. The person who imports the EDF file says that his tool can't see storage configuration for other LPARs and that it should. He can see storage utilization only for a local z/VM instance. The CPU utilization and configuration is there for all LPARs though. Does monwrite data even contain storage information from other LPARs? I don't remember seeing anywhere in performance monitor toolkit this information and it uses same mondcss after all. In perfkit all I can see is CPU stats from other LPARS (menu 8). Here is what I do. I have a user id with following directory statements required for using mondcss: IUCV *MONITOR MSGLIMIT 255 NAMESAVE MONDCSS >From the userid id I did enable all necessary monitor domains: q monitor MONITOR EVENT ACTIVE BLOCK 4 PARTITION 8192 MONITOR DCSS NAME - MONDCSS CONFIGURATION SIZE 68 LIMIT 1 MINUTES CONFIGURATION AREA IS FREE USERS CONNECTED TO *MONITOR - PERFSVM PERSMAPI MONITOR DOMAIN ENABLED PROCESSOR DOMAIN ENABLED STORAGE DOMAIN ENABLED SCHEDULER DOMAIN DISABLED SEEKS DOMAIN DISABLED USER DOMAIN ENABLED ALL USERS ENABLED I/O DOMAIN ENABLED PCIF CLASS ENABLED ALL DEVICES ENABLED NETWORK DOMAIN ENABLED ISFC DOMAIN ENABLED APPLDATA DOMAIN ENABLED ALL USERS ENABLED SSI DOMAIN ENABLED MONITOR SAMPLE ACTIVE INTERVAL 1 MINUTES RATE 2.00 SECONDS MONITOR DCSS NAME - MONDCSS CONFIGURATION SIZE 4096 LIMIT 1 MINUTES CONFIGURATION AREA IS FREE USERS CONNECTED TO *MONITOR - PERFSVM PERSMAPI MONITOR DOMAIN ENABLED SYSTEM DOMAIN ENABLED PROCESSOR DOMAIN ENABLED NOCPUMFC STORAGE DOMAIN ENABLED USER DOMAIN ENABLED ALL USERS ENABLED I/O DOMAIN ENABLED PCIF CLASS ENABLED ALL DEVICES ENABLED NETWORK DOMAIN ENABLED ISFC DOMAIN ENABLED APPLDATA DOMAIN ENABLED ALL USERS ENABLED SSI DOMAIN ENABLED The mondscss segment size according to my calculations is pretty big: q nss map .. 0012 MONDCSS CPDCSS N/A 09000 0CFFF .. 0CFF-09000=16383 (decimal) and 16383*4K (+1page) pages gives 64MB if I am doing the math right. I run the CP3KVMXT with mondcss argument and specify intervals and timeframes manually (30 minutes intervals for 5 hours total run) When it is done, it creates a bunch of files like: D111815 ACTVUSRS A1 D111815 BCUDATA A1 D111815 DEBUG A1 D111815 EDF A1 D111815 SAMPS A1 There are no errors. I've also tried to run monwrite first and use the result file as an input for cp3kvmxt. Also no luck. The EDF is the one I send to person with the tool to analyze it. What am I doing wrong?
