Resource Management
Tru64 UNIX supports a variety of tools to manage CPU resources. Processor sets and class scheduling have been provided
with the Tru64 UNIX operating system since 1997. With processor sets, individual CPUs can be grouped and dedicated to
specific applications or users. CPUs can then be moved between processor sets administratively or, should one set require
additional resources during peak load periods, through the resource usage monitoring capabilities provided within the Tru64
UNIX operating system. Class scheduling adds further definition to how CPU resources can be managed by assigning users
and applications to a class, which is allotted a percentage of the CPU time available on the system-as a whole or within
processor sets. Up to 100 different classes may be defined for a given system or system partition, enabling an administrator
to apportion the necessary CPU cycles among all the jobs running on the system. As a result, the risk that a highly compute-
intensive job will dominate the system and degrade services for other users can be effectively mitigated. HP Tru64 UNIX
also includes Aurema ARMTech ShareExpress which provides equal distribution of CPU to users and is provided license
free.
Storage Management
Storage Management products and features provide an integral extension to Tru64 UNIX system management functionality.
The following products include valuable storage management features that ship with the Tru64 UNIX base product and
related information on storage features available through the purchase of layered products.
