@Carmen, thanks, that is a huge help. RCTLACS is documented as Long-term average CPU service used by this logical partition, in millions of service units per hour. If this value is above the partition’s defined capacity, the partition will be capped. It is calculated using the physical CPU adjustment factor (RCTPCPUA) so it may not match other measures of service which are based on the logical CPU adjustment factor. It is available if the hardware supports LPAR cluster
I am assuming I can get to the RCT (possibly by IPLINFO) and as an added bonus, the field is GUPI! So yeah, there is half the answer. So the next question is, where do I find "the partition's defined capacity" (in MSUs/hour)?

Check Marks IPLINFO, I think that would have everything you'd need. of course there are other tools from other vendors but I think if you want to build your own I'd be using the some fields Mark uses. just my 2 cents Carmen On 11/19/2021 12:46 PM, Charles Mills wrote: > I am thinking about coding an STC that would "do something" if LPAR > soft-capping kicked in.
