Privilege Class: E, G
Use INDICATE LOAD to display the operating load on the host system:
v The percentage of usage for each processor in your system
v The usage of real storage
v Information concerning Expanded Storage
v Information concerning the minidisk cache
v The paging rate
v The number of users in the dispatch, eligible, and dormant lists
v The percentage of time that the system is executing instructions on the Vector
Facility
v The number of recent Vector Facility users
v The number of real Vector Facilities that can be shared by users.
Note: LOAD is the default operand of the INDICATE command.
INDICATE LOAD
AT *
displays operating load information for the system you are logged onto.
AT sysname
displays operating load information for a specific system, sysname, in the CSE
complex.
1. Vector Facility information is only a part of the response if vectors are available.
The expression VEC–nnn% appears for each processor if there is at least one
processor with a vector. The expression VECTOR–(#users) appears if there is at
least one processor with a vector.
The Expanded Storage information is displayed only if this storage is available.
2. If the wait-state interpretation capability is available on the real processor, it is
used for dedicated virtual processors. When the wait-state interpretation
capability is used, the guest virtual machine remains dispatched, even when it
enters a PSW enabled-wait state. Time spent dispatched in the wait state is
included in the processor utilization statistics reported for the guest.
3. In a mixed VM/ISF and CSE complex, the class E response from the VM/ISF
system is the same as the class G response.
4. The term user(s) for the INDICATE LOAD command does not map one to one
with the number of logged on users but instead maps to the number of entities
that are dispatched by the dispatcher. In addition to logged on users, the
dispatcher also dispatches each user’s additional virtual CPUs, logon skeleton
users, and other pseudo users.
