It may be a n00b question, but i really want to know , How Entitled Capacity is less and Used CPU is more when there is no Free CPU is available in the managed system.
I have 5LPARs in a MS with Dual VIO. Managed System CPU details
Available: 0.20
Assigned to partitions: 15.80
Configurable: 16.00
You need to also list how many Virtual CPUs an LPAR has to understand this.
If an LPAR doesn't use it's entitled capacity is donates it back to the pool and can be allocated to other LPARs based on need and weighting. so although it's entitlement may be quite low, the server finds and reallocates unused processor time, so the situation you describe is very common.
The best way - In my opinion - to see what the CPU on an LPAR is doing is to use the
command and look at the ent% column as this shows how much CPU the LPAR is using relative to the entitled capacity.
Entitled Capacity means that the LPAR is guaranteed to have that amount of CPU available to it, and that is what the Assigned to Partitions number means, is the sum of all entitled capacities for LPARs in the server.
I accept your statement, but is it possible if the LPAR is capped and it could share its free cpu to other Lpars in the same Managed System?
Kindly explain, im lagging
As ross.mather has said, if your entitled capacity is not used, it goes back into the resource pool. If your LPAR CPU entitlement is capped, it obviously won't share it. What's there to share if its capped?
I don't know where you are getting your information from about what is entitled and what's used etc.
Perhaps go on your HMC and show me the LPAR profile set up you have done.
Read on lssyscfg for more information.
Ur right! but here all the LPARS are capped then from where did i got the 3CPU extra used for Node5?
First off, i 'd like to ask you to kindly refrain from using leet-speak around here. I am sure it will enhance your chances of getting an answer if you undergo the effort to write "you are" ("you're") instead of "ur". After all, we are professionals here and we talk that way. Thank you for your consideration.
Yes, your LPARs are capped, but that does not mean they can't give back to the pool the resources they do not need at the moment. "Capped" only means that they cannot allocate needed resources above a certain point (the "maximum" value). So, if your other LPARs are more or less idle and your LPAR Nr. 5 is very busy it could allocate additional processors released to the pool from the other LPARs. If they would start to need their resources themselves of course the LPAR 5 owuld have to give them back.
I read that Entitlement CPU should be set to max 75% compare to Virtual CPU. May I know the reason.
I have set the Entitlement CPU = Virtual CPU on AIX . It works fine .
Can you help to understand. (1 Reply)
Hi
i have 2 esxi. one is amd based cpu and the other is intel based cpu.
i have a redhat linux machine that was created in amd cpu esxi, now i need to migrate it (powered off) to INTEL based esxi. will the redhat machine will be OK with that?

We have a single threaded application which is restricted by CPU usage even though there are multiple CPUs on the server, hence leading to significant performance issues. Is it possible to merge / combine multiple CPUs at OS level so it appear as a single CPU for the application? (6 Replies)
Hi there,
I'm in the process of choosing a machine to be a server and I was wondering how to interpret CPU description.
Example1:
Intel® Pentium® G6950, 2C, 2.80GHz, 3M Cache
I understarnd there are 2 cores, each running at 2.80 GHz.
Example2:
Intel® Core™ i3-530, 2C/4T, 2.93GHz, 4M... (4 Replies)

Hello Friends,
On one of my Solaris 10 box, CPU usage shows 100% using "sar", "vmstat". However, it has 4 CPUs and prstat and glance are not showing enough processes to justify high CPU utilization.

hi,
i want to know cpu utilizatiion per process per cpu..for single processor also if multicore in linux ..to use these values in shell script to kill processes exceeding cpu utilization.ps (pcpu) command does not give exact values..top does not give persistant values..psstat,vmstat..does njot...

Hi..,
my dout is a solaris server is having 16 cpu's.
in tht one cpu running some error process, accupaying more space.
I wanna down tht particular CPU only with out interrupting the other 15
CPU's. how can i do this. is there any command for this ?? (5 Replies)
