Resource allocation policies
Resource allocation policies enables WSRM to specify the resource usage for a
process. Before you use this feature you have to create a process matching
criteria. The process matching criteria is then added to a resource allocation
policy that then defines one or more resource allocations.
Calendar
The calendar provides the ability to schedule the automatic activation of a
resource allocation policy. Resource allocation policies can be entered in the
calendar to run once, or on a regular basis by defining a recurring calendar
event.
Resource Monitor
WSRM provides performance objects for System Monitor. This provides the
ability to measure the performance of the WSRM system and other systems on
the network. This real-time view of system performance can be saved and
viewed at a later date and can also be saved as an HTML file.
Accounting
Accounting logs information based on the behavior of managed processes. The
information logged is stored in the accounting database. By default, information
is logged into the database every 10 minutes, and this setting can be modified.
5.4.3 WSRM in the x455
The WSRM can be installed in the x455 only as a server. This is because the
WSRM installer does not have a client for 64-bit. In this case you have to install a
client in other Windows 32-bit in order to manage the WSRM of the x455.
Once you have installed both (client and server), it is started on the client
machine by clicking Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Windows
System Resource Manager. Once WSRM has started, click Action -> Connect
to Computer to connect with x455. See Figure 5-14 on page 200.
Note: If you want to learn more about WSRM, you should read Implementing
Windows System Resource Manager, REDP-3701.
Note: The client component runs on Windows XP, the Windows Server 2003
family (32-bit), and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later.
