Auto-configuring workload management system

摘要

A multi-partition computer system provides a configuration inspector for inspecting partitions to determine their identities and configuration information. The system also includes a policy controller for automatically setting workload-management policies at least in part as a function of the configuration information in response to a command. Computer partitions may be inspected to acquire configuration information such as identity and configuration information regarding workload containers contained by each of the partitions. An automatic policy generator may be triggered to generate policies for allocating resources to workloads as a function of the configuration information.
