Utilization Data
You can set the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to collect resource utilization data for a specific managed system or for all systems the HMC manages.
The HMC collects utilization data for memory and processor resources. You can use this data to
analyze trends and make resource adjustments. The data is collected into records that are called
events. Events are created at the following times:
- At periodic intervals (30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly, daily, and monthly).
- When you make system-level and partition-level state and configuration changes that affect resource utilization.
- When you start, shut down, and change the local time on the HMC.
You must set the HMC to collect utilization data for a managed system before utilization data can display for the managed system.
Use the Change Sampling Rate task to enable, set and change the sampling rate, or to disable sampling collection.
