5.4. Integrating a DLPAR operation into the application

The DLPAR operation can be integrated into the application using the following two methods:

  • Script-based DLPAR event handling

    If the application is externally controlled to use a specific number of threads or to size its buffers, use this method. In order to facilitate this method, a new command, drmgr, is provided. The drmgr command is the central focal point of the dynamic logical partitioning function of AIX.

  • API-based DLPAR event handling

    If the application is directly aware of the system configuration, and the application source code is available, use this method.

Applications can monitor and respond to various DLPAR events, such as a memory addition or processor removal, by utilizing ...
