Subtype 8 — AIX_OperatingSystemMetrics

Offsets Name Length Format Description
0 0 R10408MNAME 64 EBCDIC Name of measured element, extracted from the MeasuredElementName attribute of the CIM_BaseMetricValue instance.
64 40 R10408CCI 8 floating CPU time consumed by this operating system divided by CPU time which could have been used by the operating system within the interval. The value of this metric is between 0 (no CPU time consumed) and 1 (all entitled CPU capacity used).

(CPUConsumptionIndex)

72 48 R10408CSR 8 floating Number of context switches per second.

(ContextSwitchRate)

80 50 R10408EVKMP 8 floating Percentage of CPU resources used by this operating system in kernel mode in relation to the CPU capacity for the LPAR without taking capping effects or competition with other workloads into account.

(ExternalViewKernelModePercentage)

88 58 R10408EVTCP 8 floating Percentage of CPU resources used by this operating system. The value is the sum of ExternalViewUserModePercentage and ExternalViewKernelModePercentage.

(ExternalViewTotalCPUPercentage)

96 60 R10408EVUMP 8 floating Percentage of CPU resources used by this operating system in user mode in relation to the CPU capacity for the LPAR without taking capping effects or competition with other workloads into account.

(ExternalViewUserModePercentage)

104 68 R10408FPM 8 floating Amount of currently unused physical memory.

(FreePhysicalMemory)

112 70 R10408FSIPF 8 floating Amount of virtual memory that can be swapped out into paging files or block devices.

(FreeSpaceInPagingFiles)

120 78 R10408FVM 8 floating Amount of currently unused virtual memory.

(FreeVirtualMemory)

128 80 R10408HIR 8 floating Number of hardware interrupts per second.

(HardwareInterruptRate)

136 88 R10408IVIP 8 floating Percentage of time the operating system was idle.

(InternalViewIdlePercentage)

144 90 R10408IVKMP 8 floating Percentage of CPU time spent in kernel mode by the operating system.

(InternalViewKernelModePercentage)

152 98 R10408IVTCP 8 floating Percentage of CPU time spent by the operating system.

(InternalViewTotalCPUPercentage)

160 A0 R10408IVUMP 8 floating Percentage of CPU time spent in user mode by the operating system.

(InternalViewUserModePercentage)

168 A8 R10408KMT 8 floating Total CPU time the operating system spent in kernel mode.

(KernelModeTime)

176 B0 R10408LA 8 floating Average number of dispatchable units in the ready queue, not counting any idle tasks. A currently running unit is counted as dispatchable unit as well.

(LoadAverage)

184 B8 R10408NOP 8 floating Number of processes currently loaded or running in the operating system. Kernel threads are not taken into account.

(NumberOfProcesses)

192 C0 R10408NOU 8 floating Number of user sessions for which the operating system is currently storing state information. If the same user is logged in several times, each session is counted.

(NumberOfUsers)

200 C8 R10408PIR 8 floating Average number of pages paged in per second.

(PageInRate)

208 D0 R10408POR 8 floating Average number of pages paged out per second.

(PageOutRate)

216 D8 R10408SIR 8 floating Number of software interrupts per second.

(SoftwareInterruptRate)

224 E0 R10408TCT 8 floating Sum of KernelModeTime and UserModeTime, that is, the total CPU time spent in user mode or kernel mode.

(TotalCPUTime)

232 E8 R10408UMT 8 floating Total CPU time the operating system spent in user mode.

(UserModeTime)
