Nesting partitions
gWLM allows you to form SRDs consisting of various compartment types. This ability provides
flexibility in dividing your complex. For example, you can divide your complex as shown in
Figure 2 .
The complex has five nPars, two of which are divided into vPars. One npar is hosting virtual
machines, fourth npar is not divided, and the fifth nPar is hosting vPars. gWLM allows you to create
an SRD containing the two virtual machine guests, the two vPars from npar 2, the two vPars from
npar 3, npar 4, and the two vPars guests. The workloads in any of these compartments can then
borrow resources from any of the other compartments in the SRD. If TiCAP is available on the
complex, gWLM can migrate the usage rights to where they are needed.
NOTE: No more than one deployed SRD per complex should have nested partitions.
