Meaning of "%Total CPU" and "%Busy CPU" in AWR

User_A7RKTJun 8 2019 — edited Jun 9 2019

Hi guys,

Following is an excerpt from an AWR  report.

My questions are:

(1) What is the "%Total CPU" under  the Instance CPU?

Obviously it isn't how much CPU is consumed by the instance because the "%User" is 10.7% and there is no way for the Instance CPU consumption to be more than %User.

(2) What is the "%Busy CPU"? How come it is more than 100?

Host CPU

Instance CPU

It's Oracle 12c R2 on Linux x86-64.
