In SMF record type 70 subtype 1, some sections, like SMF70BCT (PR/SM partition data) and
SMF70BPD (R/SM logical processor data), and SMF_070_LCD(Logical core data) and SMF_070_CPU(CPU
data), are bound together. However, when these sections are respectively streamed through different
data streams, such correlation is lost. You can join the data streams by using the key
fields.
About this task
When you use the data stream SMF_070_BCT (the PR/SM partition data section stream) and
SMF_070_BPD (the PR/SM logical processor data section stream) to analyze the LPAR and CPU usage
information, the correlation between section SMF70BCT and SMF70BPD in the original SMF record type
70 subtype 1 is lost. Therefore, we added the key field SMF70LPAR, which is the LPAR name, to the
new SMF_070_BPD_V2 data stream to indicate the correlation between data stream SMF_070_BPD_V2 and
SMF_070_BCT.
Similar issue occurs in data stream SMF_070_LCD (the Logical core data section stream) and
SMF_070_CPU (the CPU data section stream). We added the key field SMF70_COREID, which is the core
identification, to the new SMF_070_CPU_V2 data stream to indicate the correlation between data
stream SMF_070_CPU_V2 and SMF_070_LCD.
To avoid migration issues, new V2 data streams are added while the original data streams remains
valid.
Procedure
You can join data stream SMF_070_BCT and SMF_070_BPD_V2, or join data stream SMF_070_LCD
and SMF_070_CPU_V2 by combining the values of the Correlator ID field (Key1) and the values of the
new key field (Key2) according to the following examples.
Join data stream SMF_070_BCT and SMF_070_BPD_V2 according to the following
tables.Figure 1. Join data stream SMF_070_BCT and SMF_070_BPD_V2
