Global performance data control authority

This control limits the ability of a logical partition to retrieve global performance data for other logical partitions. RMF™ can report on CPU utilization data and Input/Output Processor (IOP) data for all logical partitions in the configuration only if this security option is selected. If not selected, RMF reports only CPU utilization data for its own logical partition. In addition, gathering of channel measurements requires control authority.

This option is selected per default in the logical partition security controls on the Hardware Management Console. For more information refer to the appropriate PR/SM Planning Guide.
