Viewing local logical partition-level information

To view partition-level information and per-logical-processor performance metrics, use the -L flag with the topas command or press the L key from any other panel.

The screen is divided into two sections:

  • The upper section displays a subset of partition-level information.
  • The lower section displays a sorted list of logical processor metrics.

The following example shows the output from the topas -L command:
