WLM quick start: the essentials for using WLM
Some common WLM tasks
Chapter 2100
With a usage goal, you indicate for a workload how much of its CPU
allocation it should use. If a workload is not consuming enough of its
current allocation, the workload’s CPU allocation is reduced, allowing
other workloads to consume more CPU resources if needed. Similarly, if
the workload is using a high percentage of its allocation, it is granted
more CPU resources.
To define a usage goal for a workload group:
NOTE This procedure applies only to PRM-based configurations (confined
within a single instance of HP-UX). For information on configuring WLM
for migrating CPU resources across partitions, see Chapter 7, “Managing
SLOs across partitions,” on page 255.
PRM must be installed on your system for WLM to be able to manage
PRM-based workloads.
Step 1. Define the workload group and assign a workload to it.
Here, WLM adjusts the allocation so
that the workload always uses at least
60% but never more than 90% of it
