Concepts and terms for using gWLM
Here are some concepts and terms to know when using gWLM:
Workload
The collection of processes executing within a single
compartment. The compartment can be an nPartition
(npar), a virtual partition (vpar), a virtual machine
provided by HP Integrity Virtual Machines (hpvm), a
processor set (pset), or a Fair Share Scheduler (fss) group.
gWLM manages a workload by adjusting the system
resource allocations for its compartment. (For background
information on npars, vpars, virtual machines, psets, and
fss groups, refer to the section
.)
Compartment
An npar, a vpar, a virtual machine, a pset, or an fss group
with its resource allocation being managed by gWLM.
Multiple compartments are grouped to form a shared
resource domain, or SRD. The compartments all share the
resources within the SRD. Each compartment holds a
workload and can be in only one deployed SRD. gWLM
manages each workload by adjusting the resource
allocation for its compartment.
