PHYSICAL info missing in RMF type 70
Apologies if this is old hat, I couldn't find any matches from searching the archives. Has anyone run into RMF type 70 records where the PHYSICAL partition detail is missing. Specifically, the entry is there in the Partition Data section of the record, but the number of CPUs is 0 in field SMF70BDN, and despite there being a valid-looking offset into the Logical Processor section in SMF70BDS, there is no data present. This is a z/OS V1.4 system running on a 2096-P04. It was OK when it was running on a 9672-RD6. Any pointers greatly appreciated..

ECMB maybe ... z9 would be stretching the friendship a bit I'd reckon. Do an z/OS upgrade. Pronto.

If you are using BMC's CMF instead of IBM's RMF, you may be missing this correction: Change 23.288 BMC CMF Product SMF 70 records for z9 have SMF70BND=0, VMAC7072 MXG variable LPARCPUX, in the LPARNAME='PHYSICAL' segment Nov 10, 2005 which processor counts, especially for NRIFACPU, NRIFLCPU Jun 6, 2006 and NRICFCPU will always be zero; investigation with BMC is in progress. Jun 8, 2006 update: The error was only in the first level of CMF support for the z9, and was corrected by CMF APAR BAM9572, PTF BPM9543. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Nick, Maybe APAR: II13056. From the APAR: 1.) SMF record type 70, CPU activity.. - PR/SM Partition Data Section, SMF70BDN: Starting with z900 processors, SMF70BDN has a different meaning if the SMF70DGE flag is on - '08'x bit in SMF70INB. It contains the max defined logical processors as shown at the HMC console. There is a PR/SM Logical Processor Data Section for each defined logical processor. For active logical processors, the online time SMF70ONT is not zero. Since you mentioned that the information was correct on your 9672, maybe this applies.
