|
gWLM is a powerful tool that allows you to manage your systems in numerous ways. The following sections explain some of the more common tasks that gWLM can do for you. gWLM allows you to give a workload a fixed amount of CPU resources. This fixed amount is in the form of a set amount of CPU resources given to an npar, a vpar, a virtual machine, a pset, or an fss group. To fix the amount of CPU resources a workload gets, use a fixed policy provided by gWLM or create your own. Associate a fixed policy with a workload:
To ensure a workload gets the CPU resources it needs—while also allowing resource sharing when possible—gWLM provides OwnBorrow policies. With such a policy, you indicate the amount of CPU resources a workload should own. The workload is then allocated this owned amount of CPU resources—when it needs it. However, you can configure the workload to:
Associate an OwnBorrow policy with a workload:
gWLM’s utilization policies also allow resizing. |
