Performance Toolkit for VM Feature FL540

Performance Toolkit for VM FL540
The Performance Toolkit for VM was initially shipped with z/VM 4.4.0 to provide enhanced capabilities for a z/VM systems programmer, system operator, or performance analyst to monitor and report performance data. Offered as a priced optional feature of z/VM, the Performance Toolkit for VM is derived from the FCON/ESA program (5788-LGA), which was not available in all countries. Use the Performance Toolkit to reduce data from the z/VM MONITOR and produce reports and history files.

For z/VM V5.4, Performance Toolkit for VM is being upgraded to a new function level (FL540) and includes:

  • Using monitor data instead of Diag x'04' for:
    • FCX100 - CPU
    • FCX103 - STORAGE utilization
    • FCX104 - PRIVOPS
  • Changes to the following reports in support of Dynamic Memory Upgrade:
    • FCX102 - SYSTEM
    • FCX180 - SYSCONF
    • FCX254 - AVAILLOG and others will have updated data
  • Changes the following reports to support Relative Share:
    • FCX112 - USER
    • FCX226 - UCONF
  • Provide an optional web screen for 5 seconds before the logon screen for customers to tailor to their needs.
