  • 1.  P7 795 Run Queue Size Question

    I have a P7 795 (SMT-4)  LPAR with 1.5 entitled CPUs and 8 virtual CPUs.  I create daily NMON files with 1 minute snapshots.

    During my peak busy period there are at most 3 physical CPU units used.  Generally, during steady state there are 1.8  physical CPU units used on average.

    However, I noticed the RunQueue is continually reporting an averaage value of 4.

    Why is my RunQueue always occupied when I have 8 virtual CPUs?

    I am seeing an average < 2,000 IO/s when the run queue is at the highest.

    See attached graph.
