When a workload is created in SLES 11, it is assigned to one of the following workload management methods:
- Tactical
- Manages high-priority, critical queries with a short response-time requirement.
- SLG Tier
- Allocates resources according to the SLG tier on which the workload resides. Multiple tiers can be prioritized so higher-level tiers have higher resource allocation. This method is not used in managing appliance platforms.
- Timeshare
- Assigns the following access levels that indicate the priority of resource allocation:
- Low
- This is the baseline and lowest resource access rate for the Timeshare access method.
- Medium
- Queries are given an access rate 2 times the Low access level.
- High
- Queries are given an access rate 4 times the Low access level.
- Top
- Queries are given an access rate 8 times the Low access level.
