If you have logical partitions running Linux or other non-z/OS® systems, you can manage CPU resources across these logical partitions in accordance with workload goals. Non-z/OS partition CPU management does not support the management of partitions running z/OS systems.
Non-z/OS partition CPU management allows WLM to shift weight from either z/OS or non-z/OS partitions to another z/OS or non z/OS partition in the same LPAR cluster.
A new SYSH subsystem type is introduced for Linux CPU management. SY and PX are the qualifiers which are valid for SYSH. No resource groups can be associated with service classes for SYSH. Also CPU protection cannot be assigned. SYSH supports velocity goals with single periods, but no discretionary goals.
In order to activate non-z/OS CPU Management, see Enabling non-z/OS CPU management.
