Configuring Workload Manager

IBM® offers AIX® Workload Manager (WLM) as a system administration resource included with AIX. WLM allows users to set targets for and limits on CPU time, physical memory usage, and disk I/O bandwidth for different processes and applications. This provides better control over the usage of critical system resources at peak loads.

PowerHA® SystemMirror® allows you to configure WLM classes in PowerHA SystemMirror resource groups so that the starting, stopping, and active configuration of WLM can be under cluster control.
