the storage device controller utilization as follows: <p>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 result by
the interval time. For example:</p>
<p>Disk processor utilization = (INTSEC

</li>
<li id="rzahxqapmdisk__qapmdisknote4"><a name="rzahxqapmdisk__qapmdisknote4"><!-- --></a>The following formulas describe how several of the
fields in the previous table can be used to calculate utilization and service
time for each arm. For a multipath disk unit, these formulas will give the
utilization and service time for each path (resource). <ul><li>Arm utilization (DSUTL): The part of the total interval that the arm was
being used for I/O operations. <pre>DSUTL = Arm Busy = (DSSMPL - DSNBSY)/DSSMPL</pre>
</li>
<li>Arm accesses per second (DSAS): The number of reads and writes per second
for this arm during the interval. <pre>DSAS = (DSRDS + DSWRTS)/INTSEC</pre>
</li>
<li>Service time (DSSRVCT): The average time for an arm I/O operation. This
includes disk controller time. <pre>DSSRVCT = DSUTL/DSAS</pre>
<p>Use
the following formula to calculate the service time (DSSTM) for a multipath
disk unit, where Xi is the calculated value of X for the i-th path and sum(Xi)
is the sum of Xi over all paths:</p>
<pre>DSSTM = sum(DSSRVCTi * (DSRDSi + DSWRTSi)) / sum(DSRDSi + DSWRTSi)</pre>
<p>At
low disk utilizations (less than 5%), the service time should be ignored,
if this disk unit is managed by IOP (value of DSIOPF field is 1). This is
a calculated value based on statistical sampling. When the number of samples
is very low, the calculated value may not be accurate.</p>
