LPAR Combination Section
This section displays the combination of LPARs that are specified on the LPARCOMB statement and their highest rolling four-hour MSU per hour.
This value helps assess the license charge of those Variable Workload License Charge (VWLC) products that are active either all the time or during periods of peak CPU utilization. The combination with the description ALL LPARS (consisting of all LPARs), when present, is displayed first. Other combinations are displayed in the same order as the LPARCOMB statements that specify the combinations.
An example of the LPAR Combination Section of the CPU Utilization Report is shown in the following figure. This sample section is produced by these control statements:
LPARCOMB DESC='DB2 SYSTEMS',LPARS=(DB2A,DB2B)
LPARCOMB DESC='SAN JOSE SYSTEMS',LPARS=(SJSD,SJSE)

LPAR Combination Section field descriptions
The table below describes each field in the LPAR Combination Section of the CPU Utilization Report.
Field | Description | |
|---|---|---|
COMBINATION DESCRIPTION | description of the LPAR combination An asterisk (*) following this description indicates that the description is not unique among the listed LPAR combinations. | |
HIGH 4-HOUR MSU/HOUR | MSU | highest four-hour MSU/hour consumed by the LPAR combination If the input records do not cover any four-hour periods or no LPAR member of the combination had been active for four contiguous hours, NO 4-HOUR PERIODS is displayed. |
TIME, DATE | time and date when the highest four-hour MSU/hour value occurred | |
LPARS | LPAR | name of the LPARs in the combination (including LPARs that were always inactive) |
MSU | four-hour MSU/hour of this LPAR at the time when the highest four-hour MSU/hour of the LPAR combination occurred If three dashes (---) appear, this LPAR had not been active for four hours. | |
EXCLUDED LPARS | LPARs that were excluded from the calculation of the highest four-hour MSU/hour | |
LPAR | name of LPAR | |
REASON | ABSENT | LPAR was not found in the input SMF type 70 records |
ICF PROC | LPAR used ICF processors and hence is not MVS partitions | |
DED PROC | a remote LPAR had dedicated processors; there is not enough information in the SMF type 70 CPU record to calculate MSU usage | |
WAIT YES | a remote LPAR had the attribute Wait Completion set to Yes; there is not enough information in the SMF type 70 CPU record to calculate MSU usage | |
