Measures reported by OVMCpuDetailsTest
In the absence of adequate compute resources, the performance of the Oracle VM Server and its VMs will deteriorate. Administrators should therefore track how the server and its VMs use the available CPU resources, so that any potential contention for CPU resources can be proactively detected and resolved. This is where the OVMCpuDetailsTest test helps.
This test reports the physical CPU usage of the Oracle VM Server and points to that VM that is hogging the resources.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Processor |
Indicates the number of processors supported by the server. |
Number |
|
| Cores_per_socket |
Indicates the number of cores available per socket of the server. |
Number |
|
| Processor_speed |
Indicates the speed at which the processors of the server have been configured to run. |
Ghz |
|
| Cpu_utilization |
Indicates the percentage of CPU resources used by the server and its VMs. |
Percent |
A very high value for this measure indicates excessive CPU utilization by the processors. The CPU utilization may be high because a few processes could be consuming a lot of CPU, or because there are too many processes contending for a limited resource. The detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, lists the VMs and the physical CPU usage of each so that, the virtual machine that consumes the maximum CPU can be isolated. |
