>IOC . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.0 (0.0-99.9) IBM, and others, has recommended this be set to 0.5, to maintain the old relationship when they were 10 & 5. The reason for the change to 1.0 was to do with the fact that resource classes deal only with CPU service units (unnormalised, IIRC).

Yes, WLM managed initiators can be your best friend. When the machine gets saturated, WLM will bring the work under control. Also a good starting point would be to back off the goals for batch. It's better if the work is over-achieving rather than under-achieving. On Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:38:59 -
