LPAR2RRD monitoring on LPAR, Server and Shared CPU Pool level these CPU metrics

• CPU Phys: CPU physical allocation to LPAR, it is what you can see in LPAR2RRD
• CPU Usage: real OS level CPU utilization = "CPU physical" - "CPU idle cycles"
• CPU Virtual: number of virtual CPUs allocated for the LPAR
• CPU Entitled: entitled CPU allocated for the LPAR

Note: this is available only throuh HMC REST API connection. HMC CLI (ssh) does not monitor 'Usage'.

Server Total LPAR

LPAR in CPU dedicated mode

If a LPAR is in CPU dedicated mode with keep idle procs then "CPU Phys" is equal "CPU Virtual" and it is a flat line in the graph.
Similary server "CPU Phys" contains

LPAR CPU dedicated example
You can see that "Phys", "Virtual" and "Entitled" are flat lines, 4 Cores

LPAR CPU dedicated: Server CPU Total
You can see that "Phys" is much higher than "Usage" due to a LPAR with 1 CPU dedicated in "keep idle procs" mode
