Workload management is a load-balancing mechanism that determines which system hosts an application during startup, or after an application or server fault.
Service Group Workload Management provides tools for making intelligent decisions about startup and failover locations, based on system capacity and resource availability.
With Service group workload management, you can statically associate system capacity and service group load within the main configuration file, main.cf. This is particularly useful when managing multiple service groups and systems. VCS also maintains the functionality of dynamic system load, which can be used when service groups deviate heavily from their static load. Dynamic load is specified at the system level, meaning you can specify the load regardless of which service group is loading the system. This helps account for system load contributed by an application outside VCS of control.
