PLM Configuration

• PLM is a "policy" based tool and is configured by editing policies defined for managing and/or monitoring groups of LPAR's

• Individual Policies are typically maintained for each managed server

  • LPAR's on a managed server are usually grouped within a policy
  • Groups normally consist of "shared" and "dedicated" reflecting the CPU assignments for each LPAR

• The policy files may be edited by multiple methods:

  • Command line editing of policy files in "/etc/plm/policies"
  • WebSM
