Collection Services data files: QAPMSYSPRC
This database file reports utilization data for a system's physical processor units based on data obtained from the hypervisor. One record is written per processor per interval.
Physical processors are actual hardware processors contained within the physical system. The utilization for a system's physical processor is the time that the processor was made available by the hypervisor to any partition for it to do work. Dedicated processors will appear to be 100% utilized as the hypervisor is not in control of how the partition is using the processor.
Physical processor data is reported only if the collecting partition has been authorized to obtain it. This authorization is a partition configuration attribute set on the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
A POWER6® system with firmware level xx340_075 or later is required for this data to be available.
Field Name | Description | Attribute |
---|---|---|
INTNUM | Interval number: The nth sample database interval based on the start time specified in the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command. | PD (5,0) |
DTETIM | Interval date (yymmdd) and time (hhmmss). The date and time of the sample interval. Logically this is the time at the end of the interval. | C (12) |
DTECEN | Century digit. | C (1) |
INTSEC | Elapsed interval seconds. The number of seconds since the last sample interval. | B (4, 0) |
SPPID | Processor identifier. Unique identifier for each processor. | H(2) |
SPTYPE | Type of processor: '1 = Physical processor
|
C (1) |
SPATTR1 | Processor state:
|
C (1) |
SPATTR2 | Owning partition ID of the partition that owns this processor. If the processor is shared or unowned, a minus 1 will be reported. | B (4, 0) |
SPTIME | Processing time. The time (in milliseconds) that this processor was dispatched to some partition. | B (18, 0) |
SPVAL01-SPVAL10 | Reserved for future use. | B (18, 0) |
SPCHIPID | Chip identifier. The unique value among all hardware chips in the system, which identifies the specific hardware chip on which this processor resides. | BINCHAR (4) |
SPMODUID | Module identifier. The unique value among all hardware modules in the system, which identifies the specific hardware module on which the chip that contains this processor resides. | BINCHAR (4) |
SPAFNDMNP | Primary affinity domain identifier. Within the most significant affinity domain in the system, this is the unique value which identifies the specific affinity domain which contains this processor. | BINCHAR (4) |
SPAFNDMNS | Secondary affinity domain identifier. Within the second most significant affinity domain in the system, this is the unique value which identifies the specific affinity domain which contains this processor. | BINCHAR (4) |
SPLPIDX | Logical processor index. The unique value among all processors installed on the system by which the hypervisor identifies this processor. | B (4,0) |
