Abstract

The allocation of shareable resources of a computing environment is dynamically adjusted to balance the workload of that environment. Workload is managed across two or more partitions of a plurality of partitions of the computing environment, which are preferably configured as groups of partitions. At least one group of the computing environment includes a plurality of partitions of the computing environment. Shareable resources are assigned to the partitions of the group and are managed as a group. The managing includes dynamically adjusting allocation of a shareable resource of at least one partition of the two or more partitions in order to balance workload goals of the two or more partitions. One example of this is managing central processing unit (CPU) resources within a computing environment. When the allocation of CPU resources to a partition of the computing environment is to be adjusted, the allocation is adjusted dynamically. The adjusting includes modifying processor weights associated with the partitions.
