Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are a method and system for measuring the performance of individual logical partitions of a logically partitioned computer system. Preferably, the method and system both hardware and firmware to allow measurement samples to be collected only for user specified zones of interest. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of specifying a Zone or Zones of interest (a Zone being a logical partition), collecting measurement samples only from the one or more specified Zones of interest, and measuring the performance of each of these Zones using only the measurement samples collected from said each of the Zones.
