Future Saturations page in the AIX PowerVM view
The Future Saturations page in the PowerVM view displays all partitions that are projected to have CPU, memory, or file system saturation within the next 30 days. The 30 day default can be changed by modifying the 'Future Saturation – Show partitions whose forecasted days to saturation are under or equal to threshold' parameter. All values are calculated over the last full month and the current month.
The PowerVM Future Saturations tab allows you to toggle between viewing future saturation details for:
- Partitions (default)
- Hosts
The following figure shows the Future Saturations tab displaying information on Partitions filtered on all domains.

The Partition Future Saturations table lists future saturation information for all partitions in the selected domain.

Each row corresponds to a partition and shows the following information.
