Hi,

We have AIX 5.2 ML07 running on a p630 with 6GB
RAM.

Is there a way to control allocation of RAM to
different applications, so that all applications run
optimally?

Thanks.
Hello faisalq,
try Workloadmanager for AIX.

While WLM is a great tool to control on how resources
are allocated on a box, I would recommend not to set
up hard limits on Memory usage since the box will
start paging when a class has reached its limit
regardless whether there's memory available on the
box, affecting over all performance of the box and
other applications.

best regards,
enrique sanchez.
