The Optimization Metadata table contains the following information:

OPTIMIZATION RUN
The name that is used for the execution of the LPAR weight optimization.
MODEL VERSION
The version of the optimization model.
HOUR START
The start hour of the dates that are used in the LPAR weight optimization run.
HOUR END
The end hour of the dates that are used in the LPAR weight optimization run.
EXECUTION TIMESTAMP
The execution start time of this optimization run.
EXECUTION DURATION
The length of time that the optimization run took to run.
OBJECTIVE
The total objective value of this optimization model.

The LPAR Weight Optimization Run - LPAR Information table contains the following information:

LPAR NAME
The name of the LPAR.
LPAR PRIORITY
The priority of the LPAR. Higher numbers mean that an LPAR has a higher priority.
FIXED WEIGHT
The fixed weight value for the LPAR, if specified. If the value is "N/A", it means that the weight is not fixed and it is optimized by the LPAR weight optimization run.
TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL

The importance level of the target workload’s boundary of this LPAR.

A NULL value means that the WLM importance level does not need to be considered. The target workload is considered to be the total workload multiplied by the value of the TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL % column.

A value of 0 to 6 means that the workloads under the importance level number are considered as the target workload for this LPAR. Also, it means that a certain percent (the value of the TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL % column) of the importance level is considered as the target workload for this LPAR.

TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL %

The percentage that is used in the target workload calculation.

When TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL is null, then it is the percentage of the total workload that should be considered as the target workload.

When TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL is a number from 0 to 6, then it is the percentage of the TARGET WORKLOAD IMPORTANCE LEVEL workload that should be considered as the target workload.

OBSERVED WEIGHT
The average observed weight of the dates and hour range considered in the optimization run.
OPTIMIZED WEIGHT
The optimized weight that is the result from the LPAR Weight Optimization run.
MAX OVER TARGET WORKLOAD
The maximum value that the target workload is over the optimized weight for this LPAR. The value is a percentage of the capacity of the shared pool of this processor type.
MAX OVER TOTAL WORKLOAD
The maximum value that the total workload is over the optimized weight for this LPAR. The value is a percentage of the capacity of the shared pool of this processor type.
SUM OVER TARGET WORKLOAD
The sum of the amount that the target workload is over the optimized weight for each time interval for this LPAR. The value is a percentage of the capacity of the shared pool of this processor type. Because it is a sum value for each time interval, it is possible that the value can be larger than 100%.
SUM OVER TOTAL WORKLOAD
The sum of the amount that the total workload is over the optimized weight for each time interval for this LPAR. The value is a percentage of the capacity of the shared pool of this processor type. Because it is a sum value for each time interval, it is possible that the value can be larger than 100%.

The LPAR Weight Optimization Run – Dates Information table contains the following information.

DATE
The dates used for the optimization run.

The LPAR Weight Optimization Run – Sub Objectives Information table contains the following information.

SUB OBJECTIVE NAME
The name of each sub objective for the LPAR Weight Optimization model.
SUB OBJECTIVE WEIGHT
The weight or punishment value for each sub objective for the optimization run.
