“Resource Assignment,” on page 17 explains how resource assignment differs for the different levels of the
hierarchy.
Resource Assignment
Resource assignment differs for organizations, database groups, and databases.
Resource Assignment for Organizations
System administrators can assign multiple resource bundles to each organization. Organization administrators
allocate the resource bundles to database groups. When databases are created, they can only draw on the
resources assigned to the database group. This resource isolation guarantees that different organizations and
different database groups have control over their resources.
Resource Assignment for Database Groups
When you create a database group, you assign a resource bundle that specifies the resources for that group.
You cannot assign more than one resource bundle to one database group. Multiple database groups can share
one resource bundle.
When you assign a resource bundle to a database group, you can specify how to allocate each resource.
n
CPU priority or reservation.
n
Memory priority or reservation.
n
Storage allocation.
n
A network for the database group. You cannot divide the network. You can select only one network during
database group creation even if several networks are associated with the resource bundle.
If you do not explicitly specify the CPU or memory allocation, Data Director sets the reservation to zero but
sets expandable reservations to true. If expandable reservations is set to true, the CPU or memory can expand
beyond the specified value.
