gWLM provides an advisory mode that allows you to see how gWLM will
approximately respond to a given SRD configuration—without putting gWLM
in charge of your system’s resources. Using this mode, you can safely
gain a better understanding of how gWLM works. In addition, you can check
that your policies behave as expected—with minimal effect on the system.
Advisory mode is not available for SRDs containing virtual machines,
psets, or fss groups.
Once you are comfortable with an SRD, change its mode to managed to
let gWLM manage resource allocation for the compartments in the SRD.
For information on changing modes, refer to “Changing from Advisory Mode to Managed Mode”.
