ABSTRACT:
A method and system for reallocating adapters in a logically partitioned environment. The present invention comprises a Performance Enhancement Program (PEP) and a Reallocation Program (RP). The PEP allows an administrator to designate several parameters and identify donor and recipient candidates. The RP compiles the performance data for the adapters and calculates a composite parameter. For each adapter in the donor candidate pool, the RP compares the composite parameter to the donor load threshold to determine if the adapter is a donor. For each adapter in the recipient candidate pool, the RP compares the composite parameter to the recipient load threshold to determine if the adapter is a recipient. The RP then allocates the adapters from the donors to the recipients. The RP continues to monitor and update the workload statistics based on either a moving window or a discrete window sampling system.
