Modify the Physical System Allocation Policy

After Reservation Manager determines that a reservation request can be met, it calculates the total cost of each system that meets the criteria for the request. You can modify the weight values for each property in the caaipconf.cfg file to customize the system allocation policy for your environment.

To modify the physical system allocation policy

1. As administrator in Reservation Manager, under Administer Your Reservation Manager, click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

2. Click the following links in the Physical Provisioning area. Each one opens a dialog in which you can change the value and click OK.

   Cpu Count Reservation Weighting

   Disk Space Reservation Weighting

   Memory Reservation Weighting

The configuration change takes effect when the next reservation is made.
