Utilization Sample

When you set the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to collect utilization data for a managed system, the HMC collects utilization information from the managed system at the requested sampling rate, and on an hourly, daily, and monthly basis.

The title bar displays the date and time when this periodic data sample was taken and the name of the managed system whose utilization was sampled. The date and time displayed here are the date and time on the HMC at the time that the HMC took the data sample. This is not necessarily the same local time that is used on the managed system. This also does not take into account any changes that you made to the HMC local time since the date and time that are displayed here.

You can change the information that displays in the lower half of this window by using the View menu. The possible View menu settings are as follows:

System: Displays information about the processor and memory utilization on the managed system as a whole.

Partition: Displays information about the processor and memory utilization on each logical partition in the managed system.

Physical Processor Pool: Displays information about the total processor utilization within all shared processor pools on the managed system.

Shared Processor Pool: Displays information about the processor utilization within each configured shared processor pool on the managed system.

Shared Memory Pool: Displays information about the memory utilization within the shared memory pool on the managed system.
