AIX

Hi All,
I want to configure a user account which contains a dedicated cpu allocated to it.
For example, if i have a user account by name "user1" in my AIX 5.3 machine and a 4 physical processor, Now i want to assign 1 physical processor to "user1" out of 4 physical processor how do i do?
Please help me as i am new to this AIX.

Regards
Raj

If you want to make sure that only dedicated CPU resources on a multiprocessor server is being used by some user/department/group I'd use the AIX Workload Manager.
If you want to bind a user's process to a dedicated processor on a multiprocessor server you need to know that you cannot exactly do that. However what you can do is bind the kernel threads of a process to a certain processor. The bindprocessor command is then what you are looking for.

Code:

 # bindprocessor <process-id> <processor#>
