Look at
SET SHARE guest ABSOLUTE nn LIMITHARD nn
where <nn> is some value less than 100 that gives you enough "breathing
room" for other guests to get a shot at the processors. In the longer term,
it sounds like you've defined this guest with 5 (or more) virtual CPUs. You
might want to give it fewer (assuming it doesn't need more than four full
processors all the time) so it can't do this to you again.

Subject: CURRENT ISSUE
Hi
Currently I have a z/Linux guest that is using all 5 IFLs (That is what we
have) it is almost like it is in a loop. You cannot log into the guest. My
question, is there a way to slow down this quest to allow other processes to
get some CPU? I think ultimately the application folks will need to stop the
application but I thought I would take this opportunity to see if there were
any control like I have on z/OS with workload manager to reduce the amount
of CPU resources this guest is using. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You,
Terry Martin
