I'm running on AIX 5.3

The WebSphere documentation says that I can lock a server to a process group,
and that a system administrator can assign the process group to run on N of our
16 processors.

Is this a configuration that would survive a reboot? Is my AIX sys admin likely
to know how to do this?

The term "process group" turns up too many false hits when I try to search IBM's
documentation. Can somebody point me directly to the document I want [my sys
admin] to read?

Thanks

The AIX command is: bindprocessor
The smity fast path to the command is: smitty bindproc

This will not survive a reboot. You will need to write a script to do
it on startup.

I don't know about processor or process groups on AIX 5.3.

Thanks. I expect searching for "bindprocessor" to be much more
productive, and knowing a smitty command makes it much easier
to get my sysadmin interested.

I got thinking, you might want to look up WLM, PLM or websm.
That is, Work Load Manager, Partition Load Manager or the WEB System
Manager (/usr/bin/wsm) to do what you need.
I don't use WLM, PLM and I ony use WEB SM a little bit. There are
Resource Sets in WEB SM.

This link seems to indicate that resource sets are what you want:

This might be what you really want:
