Common observations

Some observations about Linux guest performance during relocation, the number of memory passes and the z/VM system load during the relocation process.

Linux guest performance during the relocation process
Linux performance was monitored by means of the system activity data collector (sadc).
Number of memory passes
In all our tests, we observed that the number of memory passes performed by z/VM® during the relocation process was eight.
z/VM system load during the relocation process
This section shows the typical z/VM CPU usage during live guest relocation.
