Notes: The idle loop count and time are used to calculate the multifunction IOP utilization as follows:
  1. Convert the product of the idle loop count times the idle loop time from hundredths of microseconds to seconds. Subtract this from the interval time, and divide the results by the interval time. For example:
    IOP utilization = (INTSEC - (MIIDLE * MIIDLT)/10**8) / INTSEC
  2. The performance monitor reports I/O processor (IOP) statistics different beginning with Version 3 Release 7. Therefore, performance statistics for IOPs introduced in Version 3 Release 7 or later releases are reported in the QAPMMIOP file. Performance statistics are reported in the QAPMMIOP file even if the IOP supports only one of the three IOP functions (communications, disk, or local workstation). Performance statistics for IOPs that were introduced before Version 3 Release 7 will continue to be reported in the appropriate IOP file (QAPMCIOP, QAPMDIOP, QAPMLIOP, and QAPMMIOP).
  3. The function 1 - 5 identifiers are for additional functions that may be running in the primary IOP. Each function identifier has an associated function time value. The function identifier may have the following value:
