Automatically resizing pSets

With multiprocessor systems running HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) or later, you can group processors

together to form pSets. By creating pSets, you isolate CPU resources for users or applications.

WLM enables you to define workload groups based on pSets. If you then specify SLOs for these

workload groups, WLM automatically adjusts the number of processors in the pSets based on

progress toward the SLOs.

To implement pSets that resize automatically:

1. Enter the maximum amount of CPU resources (cores) the system will have. The wizard estimates the

maximum value. Confirm or edit the estimate. Be sure to consider changes in the CPU/core count

caused by Instant Capacity and other such adjustments.
