WLM is responsible for sampling the MSU Utilization for each LPAR every 10 seconds. Every 5 minutes, WLM documents the highest observed MSU utilization sample from the 10 second bucket. This process keeps a track of the past 48 updates sampled for each LPAR. When the 49th observation is recorded, the 1st observation is discarded, and so on. These 48 observations of 5 minutes each represent a total of 5 minutes * 48 = 240 minutes or the past 4 hours rolling average (R4HA). WLM stores the average of these 48 values in the WLM control block RCT.RCTLACS. Every time RMF creates a Type 70 record, the current 4 hour rolling average from RCT.RCTLACS is populated in the SMF70LAC field representing the 4hour rolling average at the time of cut. This way we have the “4 Hour Rolling Average” being recorded as SMF70LAC for every Type70 record.
The below example shows how 4HRA is calculated. In this example the 4HRA at 04:00 is 271 MSUs which is average of all the 48 intervals of 5 minutes each from 00:00-4:00
