CPU types

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest

Enable or disable CPU types in interactive mode in the cpu_types window.

The CPU types can also be specified with the --cpu_types command line option.

The calculation of the CPU data uses CPUs of the specified types only. For example, if you want to see how much CPU time is consumed by your Linux® systems, enable CPU type IFL.

On z/VM® the processor type is always UN and you cannot select the type.

In an LPAR the following CPU types can be selected either interactively or with the --cpu_types command line option:

Identifier Column label Explanation
i IFL Integrated Facility for Linux. On older machines IFLs might be shown as CPs.
p CP CP processor type.
u UN Unspecified processor type (other than CP or IFL).
