Managing SLOs across partitions
Setting up your WLM global arbiter configuration file
Chapter 7 271
interval = number_of_seconds;
where
interval Is a optional keyword.
number_of_seconds
Is an integer value greater than or equal to 1 indicating
how often, in seconds, WLM should consider moving
cores between partitions.
NOTE The interval for your global arbiter should be larger
than the largest WLM interval being used on the
system.
When generating audit data (with the wlmpard -t
option), number_of_seconds should be no more than
120 (twice the suggested interval for the WLM
instances when auditing). This value ensures the audit
data sampling rate is sufficiently frequent to:
• Minimize the amount of audit data lost if the WLM
global arbiter daemon exits unexpectedly
• Minimize the effect of changes in the number of
available cores (due to WLM management of
partition resources)
Specifying the port (optional)
The port keyword is an optional keyword specifying which port the
WLM global arbiter should monitor for input from the various WLM
instances. Indicate a port using the following syntax:
port = port_number;
where
port Is an optional keyword.
port_number Is a port number greater than 0 that the WLM global
arbiter should monitor to collect input from the WLM
instances running on the partitions. If you specify a
