Situation Description

LPAR 4-Hour Rolling Average is High

 

Possible Causes

Over the last 4 hours the average physical standard CP resource consumed by the LPAR has reached , or is near to, its Defined MSU Capacity (WLM Soft Cap) or its entitled limit based on guaranteed physical standard CP resources.

 

Suggested Actions

If a WLM soft cap is defined for the LPAR, consider re-evaluating this limit based on the service goals of the workload(s) running on the LPAR.

Check LPAR weights are established such that the LPAR is getting a sufficient share of the CPC's physical CPU resources. This applies if the CPC physical CPU resources are not fully utilized at the time of the high utilization and the entitled physical standard CP resource available to the LPAR is insufficient to meet workload demands.
