Forgot to mention that the LPAR is member of a capacity group, so the group capacity might be another factor.
-- Peter Hunkeler Von: Peter Hunkeler <p...@gmx.ch> An: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Betreff: What CPU capacity does WLM look at when deciding to start more batch initiators? Datum: 17.12.15, 10:57 This is about WLM managed initiator management. In "System Programmer's Guide to: Workload Manager", I read that independent of the goals set, WLM might start additional initiators if jobs are waiting in the input queue. WLM will consider "available CPU and memory" in its decision if and on which system to start more initiators. I wonder what the "available CPU" is when the system is running on a CEC with lots of white space. The system is allowed to use that capacity as long as the defined capacity is not exceeded in the four hour average. What does WLM look at? The defined capacity of the LPAR? The LPAR's share based on its weight? The number of CPs (LCPs)? What else? I'm trying to understand how our LPAR setup on the CEC is influencing WLM's preception of available CPU capacity and with this, its decision on how many initiators to start on a partition. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
