CPU Activity - SMF record type 70-1
One of the following qualifiers is possible:
- cluster
- Name of the sysplex or cluster
- coreid
- A processor identifier (one or two hexadecimal digits) that either
identifies a logical core (when LOADxx PROCVIEW CORE is in effect)
or a logical processor (when LOADxx PROCVIEW CPU is in effect).
If the qualifier is omitted, the values represent the average of all logical processors or cores.
- cpuid
- A processor identifier which must be in the format cpuid[.threadid]
cpuid is a processor identifier (one or two hexadecimal digits) that either identifies a logical core (when LOADxx PROCVIEW CORE is in effect) or a logical processor (when LOADxx PROCVIEW CPU is in effect).
threadid is an optional thread identifier (0 or 1) that identifies a thread that is executing on the logical core designated by cpuid. It is ignored when LOADxx PROCVIEW CPU is in effect . If LOADxx PROCVIEW CORE is in effect and threadid is omitted, the values represent the average of all threads executing on the logical core.
Examples: 0A, 3F.0, A.1
If the qualifier is omitted, the values represent the average of all logical processors or cores.
- lpar
- Logical partition name
- group
- Group of logical partitions managed towards a common group capacity limit
