In this step:
Select the type of compartment your workloads should be based on. Follow
the links below to sections in this help page for background information:
Select the [Next] button.
| | Discovered Layout |
The Discovered Layout shows you the compartments found on the systems you
specified in the previous step.
Expanding / contracting layouts
Use the +, ++, -, and -- buttons to expand or contract various items in
the Discovered Layout:
Expand the layouts for all systems by selecting ++.
Expand the layout for a single system by selecting + next to that
system's name.
Contract the layouts for all systems by selecting --.
Contract the layout for a single system by selecting - next to that
system's name.
Viewing CPU data in the Discovered Layout
In the Discovered Layout, position your cursor over an item to see the
following CPU data for that item:
min/size/max
These labels correspond to:
min - The minimum number of CPUs the compartment is configured to
have. For psets, this value is 1; for partitions, you
set this value using an npar or vpar command.
size - The number of CPUs the compartment has at the time of
discovery.
max - The maximum number of CPUs the compartment is configured to
have. For partitions, you set this value using an npar or vpar
command.
| | Selecting a compartment to manage (and creating an SRD) |
gWLM displays a list of the compartment types that are available to be
managed for the systems you have specified.
When you select the type of compartment to manage, gWLM creates
SRDs that contain your chosen type of compartment. Your workloads then run
in these compartments.
The following table shows how the choice of compartment type results in
different SRDs.
* To use npars as compartments, your npars must meet several
npar requirements.
** When managing fss groups on a system having both psets and fss
groups, processor set 0 contains all the fss groups. Consequently,
allocations to the fss groups are based on the number of CPUs in processor
set 0.
