gWLM provides an advisory mode that allows you to see how gWLM will approximately respond to a given SRD configuration—without putting gWLM in charge of your system’s resources. Using this mode, you can safely gain a better understanding of how gWLM works. In addition, you can check that your policies behave as expected—with minimal effect on the system.
Advisory mode is not available for SRDs containing virtual machines, psets, or fss groups due to the nature of these compartments.
Once you are comfortable with an SRD, change its mode to managed to let gWLM manage resource allocation for the compartments in the SRD.
For information on changing modes, refer to “Changing from Advisory Mode to Managed Mode”.
