    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 set of 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

    (I don't think that you can assign one physical processor...But you can assign a share
    of resources to be dedicated to user1)

    From the following redbook:
    "WLM manages percentages of CPU time rather than CPUs. This allows
    control over CPU resources at a finer granularity."

    http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245977.html

    You can also regulate I/O bandwidth and memory allocation.

    Hope this helps,
    Casey
