Analyzing virtual processorsVirtual processorsconfigured in SPLPAR
This is a capped partitionAlso, virtual processors = entitled capacity
This is an uncapped partitionAllocate 2 virtual processors, though entitled capacity = 0.5
Let multi-threaded applications use additional CPU resources when available.

Uncapped vs capped, and virtual processorsCapped partitionsNot permitted to use any more CPU than entitled capacity.Cap the partition when:• Application software has strict licensing
restrictions. OR• Application is non-critical and should not
take resources from other LPARs.
Uncapped partitionsCan use CPU up to total number of VPs (provided shared pool allows it)Allocate more VPs when:• Application can use them efficiently
(highly parallel) AND• Application is subject to occasional bursts
and should be allowed to exceed entitlement.
Uncapped partitionEntitled capacity is less than VP capacity.Entitlement utilization (percentage of entitled capacity) is large and can exceed 100%.

Analyzing shared-dedicated mode
DLPAR – Donated CPU busy/idle chartChart will display if Shared-Dedicated setting is ON for DLPAR.If DLPAR donates cycles to the pool, then this chart will displaythe number of cores donated.
Use this chart to understand whether the DLPAR is donatingCPU cycles periodically.• If DLPAR is never donating, OR• If DLPAR is always donating the same amount,Then you should probably reconfigure processors instead ofusing shared-dedicated mode.
DLPAR in shared-dedicated modeTo improve utilization, you can harvest any unused processing power from the DLPAR and use it in a shared pool.

Analyzing processor folding
Active VPs number changes according to loadHypervisor reduces the number of active virtual processors based on the load on the system, for efficiency.Lets you decide whether to scale up or down the allocated VPs

Configuring capacity agents
For HMC collection– Install agent on at least one partition in each frame– Configure agent for HMC access
• Install SSH; generate encryption key pair
– Configure HMC• Enable remote command execution on HMC• Create a user with Viewer privileges• Copy the public key
For full collection– Install agent on each LPAR
In all cases– Install BPA Console

Configuring HMC data collection
UDR metric groups enabled– Physical partition statistics and configuration
– Pool statistics and configuration
– Processor pool statistics and configuration
Configuring HMC data collection via convenience scripts on LPARRun configure_openssh script on partition
(logs into HMC and runs chlparutil command)
Run configure_frame_stats script on partition
Enables physical partition statistics, pool statistics, processor pool statistics
Usually sufficient to use 900 second frequency, unless you need real-time data
Debugging script: debugPhysPartConfig
