The Processor Utilization view

The Processor Utilization view includes historical data and trends that reflect the usage of virtualized or shared processors over time. A graph shows the processor utilization on the physical server. Another aggregated graph shows the usage per resource, which includes the system firmware, Virtual I/O Servers, and client partitions. The table lists more detailed information about averages and trends.

You can access this view by clicking Processor Utilization Trend in the Views window.

The Processor Utilization view includes a trend graph. You can change the graph options to show processor utilization for the server and aggregated levels.

The Resource Utilization table shows detailed information for individual partitions and pools, such as the number of entitled and used units.

By default, the graphs and tables show data that was collected for the previous 4 hours. For more information about displaying data for a longer amount of time, see Changing Performance and Capacity Monitor home page settings.
