CPU adjustment rate

2007-11-27 Thread Tobias Doerkes
Hi list. As far as i know VM only gives information about CPU usage by used CPU seconds. In MVS there is a so called CPU adjustment rate (rmctadjc) to convert CPU seconds into service units. Is there an aquivalent field in VM control blocks? Regards, Tobias Doerkes

Hi, Tobias. The short answer is no, there is no such conversion field in VM itself. Of course, if you are running a guest like MVS under VM, that support such a conversion, then that conversion will still work. Hope this helps. Tobias Doerkes wrote: Hi list. As far as i know VM only gives

That is the way it is supposed to work. I thought I did this on one of the test systems but cannot prove it (maybe it was a SPOOL volume). -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Little, Chris Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 10:17 AM

As far as I know, there never has been a defined measurement known as a service unit on VM; therefore, no way to convert from anything else to service units. If you want to define a service unit as n cpu seconds, then the conversion is straightforward. Regards, Richard Schuh -Original

2007-11-27 Thread Schuh, Richard
The current implementation in MVS allows an installation to provide weights, or coefficients, for the various components of a service unit. Therefore, there is no fixed number of cpu seconds per service unit that applies universally. There probably is a definition of the defaults somewhere. Google

A VM DB2 server can indeed use CRR, but, (as far I know) not for DB2 applications running on VM. That is, DB2/VM uses CRR only when it used in DRDA mode from a remote site. 2007/11/28, Alan Ackerman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:27:08 -0800, Schuh, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrot
