How is total cpu usage (QOS_CPU_USAGE) calulated by cdm probe in Solaris platform
Environment
UIM 8.51
cdm 6.30
Solaris 10/11
cdm 6.30
Solaris 10/11
Resolution
The CPU usage information is found by running the command "/usr/bin/mpstat" in a separate thread and parsing the data it provides.
"mpstat" utility is used only for cpu usage calculation.Not using "prstat" utility.
"mpstat" utility output :

Total CPU = 100; /* 100% *is* the maximum */
Total CPU Usage = 100 - Idle /* if idle is 66 then CPU Usage is 100 - 66 = 44 */
"mpstat" utility uses the interval from the probe and work out the average CPU usage over that time period.
The mpstat command reports processor statistics in tabular form.
Each row of the table represents the activity of one processor.
The first table summarizes all activity since boot. Each subsequent table summarizes activity for the preceding interval.
All values are rates listed as events per second.
CPU usage information is collected for each of the CPUs, then the total is averaged for the Computer Device as a whole.
