The command /SHOW-VM-STATUS gives the VM2000 administrator an overview of the current measured values for active objects in VM2000. It supplies measured values in the following categories once or periodically:
Operand
INFORMATION=*TIMER/*ALL:
Values for usage of CPU capacity for the real CPUs, the CPU pools, the VM groups and the VMs.Operand
INFORMATION=*COUNTER/*ALL:
Events which were executed by the VM2000 hypervisor for real or virtual CPUs.Operand
INFORMATION=*SCHEDULE/*ALL:
Measured values for scheduling by the VM2000 hypervisor for real CPUs and VMs.
 | The operand values INFORMATION=*COUNTER/*SCHEDULE are not available on SU x86. |
These values are output in each case as absolute values and also as percentages.
The one-off output of measured values (PERIOD=*RECENT) takes place synchronously and shows the measured values from the immediate past. One-off output can be called in parallel by several VM2000 administrators.
In the case of /SHOW-VM-STATUS PERIOD=<integer>, you can specify the interval at which the measured values are to be output (from 5 seconds up to 1 hour). It makes sense to set several minutes so that the time values provide meaningful information as regards the load imposed on the CPU by the VMs. Periodic output can only be used by one VM2000 administrator at a time.
