Handling z/OS VM guests

When an LPAR contains IBM z/VM, and has some virtual machine guests (VM guests) running z/OS, UIE can process the data for the VM guests.

The information provided by RMF allows UIE to identify the physical system on which z/VM is running, but not to allow UIE to determine in which particular VM partition this copy of z/OS is running as a guest. The VM partition information is necessary for UIE to correctly account for CPU activity and avoid double-counting the CPU of the VM guests. You can specify the VM partition information by using the VMPARTITION command. If the VM partition name is specified, UIE adjusts CPU utilization of the host VM LPAR by subtracting the utilization of the defined z/OS guests.

For more information, see VMPARTITION.
