    摘要: Disclosed is a method and computer program device for dynamically managing the assignment of alias addresses to base addresses referencing an input/output (I/O) device, such as a direct access storage device (DASD). Two distinct methods are disclosed. In one method, alias addresses are assigned based on the performance of the I/O devices. In this method, alias addresses are assigned to highly utilized devices, as indicated by device performance data, in order to maximize the efficient utilization of I/O device resources. In a second method, workload management principles are utilized to assign alias addresses. In this method, a correlation is made between each I/O device and the service classes utilizing each device. As in the first method, performance data is generated for each I/O device. Alias addresses are assigned to I/O devices experiencing queue delays as indicated by their performance data, if the device is associated with a service class that has failed to meet one or more processing goals. These methods may operate on a single host, or in a multi-host environment. The methods may be operated individually, or concurrently. Methods are disclosed to manage contention between concurrently operating assignment methods, and between multiple hosts concurrently operating one or more assignment methods.

    摘要: A technique is disclosed for managing a workload distributed across multiple data processing systems to enhance shared resource access to meet a common performance standard. The technique includes on at least one system, measuring performance of the work units on the system to create local performance data, and on at least some of the systems sending the local performance data to at least one other system of the multiple data processing systems. The method further includes on at least one of the systems, receiving the performance data from the sending systems to create remote performance data, and adjusting at least one control parameter for accessing shared resources in response to the local and remote performance data to modify the performance of the work units distributed across the data processing systems to achieve the common performance standard. A dynamic resource clustering process is also employed to enhance the shared resource management.

    摘要: A workload manager creates goal control data, defining two or more classes of system work units, in response to specification of goals of two or more goal types for the classes, and specification of importance values for each of the goal types. A system resource manager causes the goals to be met by periodically sampling work unit status; calculating a performance index for each class; selecting a receiver class to receive improved service based on the relative performance indexes and goal importance; a system bottleneck impacting achievement of goal by the receiver class is identified; and one or more system control data elements are identified and adjusted to cause the goal to be met for the receiver class.
