VSE Configuration
VSE Configuration - Best Practices
Helpful Configuration information:
- VSE supports up to 10 CPUs, but the practical limit is much less. Usually one or two is sufficient.
- The more non-parallel work that is being done, the greater the possibility that value would be added by having
an additional CPU.
Helpful ESAMON screens/ESAMAP reports:
- ESASES - VSE System Configuration - Shows general configuration information at a glance.
Using zVPS to find information for solving issues with the VSE Networking:
ESAVSES - Shows information about
Node - This shows the node name of the server.
z/VM VirtID - This shows the name of the guest virtual machine userid when running as a z/VM guest.
z/VM Lvl - This shows the level of the z/VM host - 1 for first level, 2 for second level guests.
LogicalPart Name - This shows the name of the z/VM (if running as a guest) or z/VSE LPAR.
LogicalPart Number - This shows the number of the LPAR.
CPU Model - This shows the CPU processor model, number of CPUs and the processor serial number.
Partitions - This shows the partition information. The maximum number of partitions, the current number
of partitions, the number of static partitions and the number of dynamic partitions.
CPU Counts - This shows the CPU information. The total number of CPUs defined, the number of CPUs currently
active, the number of CPUs currently quiesced and the number of CPUs currently inactive.
