IRD & Short Engine Effect at 100% CEC utilization

2005-06-06 Thread Diehl, Gary (MVSSupport)
All, Has anyone besides me noticed IRD allow short on engines in an LPAR cluster with Weight Management and CPU Vary enabled? We're at 1.4, and as far as I know we've got all the updates for IRD. I've had an experience on a large system (>10 PCPs) with 2 LPARS and the CEC running at 100%, where

Hello Gary: We have found your reply because we have the same problem: even though Weight Management change weights, no LCPUs in D M=CPU ever get the "W" flag on them, IRD don't touch them at all. We dont' have the Initial number of logical CPs equal to the number of shared physical CPs on th

Hi Gary, Since no one has answered your question, I'll attempt to do so. First, please review pages 69-92 of SG24-5952 (Redbook: z/OS Intelligent Resource Director). I believe that if you spend some time with these pages, you will better appreciate the IRD algorithms. Particularly, study pa

Don, Thank you for taking the time to try to respond to my question. All of your suggestions were well thought out, and appreciated. However, I think I've tried them already. I'll try to explain what I saw, what led up to it, and the conclusions I came to as best as I can. Forgive me if it end
