Here is the WLM forum:

Attached is a WLM User's Guide for 11.11 and 11.23 but, it was published in 2005.

I looked for more but some many links have disappeared...

Try this instead of the attached

WLM is not hard. You start by making a spreadsheet of every cpu and DIMM and their assignments to what server.

If you've built a virtual guest before then you'll be very familiar with the process. In fact, taking a vmware or vmachine class would be great if you can't get a wlm class.

The toughest job will be keep the spreadsheet up to date -and- Robbing Peter to Pay Paul / make on the fly changes by stealing resources from zvbox for xvbox. For example, every Friday xvbox needs 2 more cpus and 8 GB more memory, and zvbox is now under loaded because its the weekend. You have to write a script and cron job to provision on Friday and deallocate on Monday.
