QUERY PVUESTIMATE (Display processor value unit estimate)
Use this command to obtain an estimate of the client devices and server devices that are being managed by the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server. In addition, this command provides an estimate of the processor value unit (PVU) totals for the server devices.
This command generates a PVU estimate that is based on the number of logical nodes that are defined to the IBM Spectrum Protect server. By contrast, the calculation of license obligations is based on the number of physical computers. There might not be a one-to-one correlation between the number of logical nodes and the number of physical computers. The report that is generated by the QUERY PVUESTIMATE command is an estimate, which is not legally binding.
For purposes of the QUERY PVUESTIMATE command, nodes on Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Apple systems are assumed to be client devices. Nodes on all other platforms are considered to be server devices. The server on which IBM Spectrum Protect is running is also classified as a server device. However, you can reclassify server devices as client devices if required. If your system includes retired workstations, test workstations, or others that can be ignored for purposes of PVU calculation, you can specify them as type other. To change a node classification, use the UPDATE NODE command or the REGISTER NODE command.
Privilege class
Any administrator can issue this command.

Example: Display the estimated number of devices and PVU
Display the estimated number of client devices and server devices, and the estimated PVU for the server devices, for an IBM Spectrum Protect server. Issue the following command:query pvuestimate| Product | Number of Client Devices | Number of Server Devices | PVU of Server Devices |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBM Spectrum Protect Extended Edition | 1,000 | 905 | 90,500 |

| IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning | 0 | 25 | 5,000 |
| IBM Spectrum Protect for System Backup and Recovery | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Other Node Classifications | Number |
|---|---|
| Nodes earlier than Version 6.3 with no PVU information available at this time | 10 |
| Nodes at Version 6.3 or later with no PVU match | 9 |
| Nodes classified by the administrator as "other-device" | 8 |
| Nodes defined as a non-licensed API application | 6 |
The following list provides details about the example fields:
- Product
- The IBM Spectrum Protect product name.
- Number of Client Devices
- The estimated number of client devices that are managed by the product. By default, only nodes on Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Apple systems are assumed to be client devices.
- Number of Server Devices
- The estimated number of server devices that are managed by the product. By default, nodes on all platforms except for Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Apple systems are assumed to be server devices. This number also includes the server on which IBM Spectrum Protect is running.
- PVU of Server Devices
- The estimated PVUs of all nodes that are connected as server devices.
- Nodes earlier than Version 6.3 with no PVU information available at this time
- Devices that do not report processor information to the server.
- Nodes at Version 6.3 or later with no PVU match
- Devices that do not report all required values or some values were reported as "Unknown".
- Nodes classified by the administrator as "other-device"
- Nodes that are excluded from PVU counting by the administrator by using the update node roleoverride=other command.
- Nodes defined as a non-licensed API application
- Nodes such as DB2® backup or custom API applications.
Example: Display detailed node information
Display information for individual nodes by specifying the detailed (d) value for the Format parameter. Issue the following command:
