Clicking the OK button will create the policy file. The policy file is kept in the
directory you specified at step 3 on page 397. The default directory is
/etc/plm/policies. If you look at this file, you should find something similar to
Example 6-1.
Example 6-1 PLM policy file for managing CPU resources
# cat /etc/plm/policies/development
#Policy for the development and admin partitions
globals:
hmc_host_name = 590hmc
hmc_user_name = hscroot
hmc_cec_name = Server590
development:
type = group
cpu_type = shared
cpu_maximum = 4
mem_maximum = 0
vio_client2.mydomain.com:
type = partition
group = development
cpu_shares = 128
ec_delta = 20
cpu_intervals = 2
cpu_load_high = 0.8
cpu_load_low = 0.3
cpu_free_unused = yes

10.Once the policy file has been defined with the managed partitions, we can set
up the inter-partition RMC communications if this was not done manually with
the plmsetup command earlier. Click Setup communication with managed
partitions, which will present the window shown in Figure 6-15 on page 405.
