Workload management in a partition

The same workload management facilities in AIX® exist within each AIX partition.

There are no differences seen by the AIX Workload Manager, or WLM, running inside a partition. The WLM does not manage workloads across partitions. Application owners may be experienced with specifying CPUs or memory to a workload and want to extend this concept to partitions. However, in partitioning, CPUs are assigned to each partition outside the scope of the workload manager, so the ability to specify a set of CPUs from a specific MCM to a particular workload is not available. The Workload Manager and the bindprocessor command can still bind the previously-assigned CPUs to particular workloads.
