Common uses for gWLM
gWLM is a powerful tool that allows you to manage your systems in numerous ways. The following
sections explain some of the more common tasks that gWLM can do for you.
Fixing the amount of CPU resources a workload gets
gWLM allows you to give a workload a fixed amount of CPU resources. This fixed amount is in
the form of a set amount of CPU resources given to an npar, a vpar, a VSP, a virtual machine, a
pset, or an fss group.
To fix the amount of CPU resources a workload gets, use a fixed policy provided by gWLM or
create your own. Associate a fixed policy with a workload:
•
When creating an SRD, as described in “Getting started with gWLM” (page 17)
•
When adding a workload to an SRD, as described in “Adding a new compartment or GiCAP
group member to an SRD” (page 24)
•
By changing the policy associated with an existing workload, as described in “Changing
which policy is associated with a workload” (page 23)
