TC020602TB TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) Microsoft Exchange 2000 Consolidation Using ProLiant Essentials Workload Management Pack ... RESOURCE PARTITIONING MANAGER Workload Management Pack, featuring Resource Partitioning Manager (RPM), is a resource management tool to enable workload consolidations on ProLiant servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, and DataCenter operating systems. Workload Management Pack increases the stability and availability of applications under Windows 2000, thereby allowing customers to confidently deploy multiple applications on a single server. RPM builds upon the embedded job object technology in Windows 2000 to provide a quick and easy way to manage processor and memory resources dynamically.1 PARTITION CONFIGURATION On a server, RPM is used to create two resource partitions isolating Exchange 2000 Information Store processes from supporting application processes. The first partition contains the store.exe process. The second partition contains the processes associated with supporting applications: an Exchange 2000 antivirus scanner and a management application discovery agent. Other applications, such as management agents and backup/restore agents, are good candidates for an RPM partition. Processor-intensive services like MS_SEARCH (Microsoft's content indexing service) may also benefit from dedicated resources through RPM. Add the Active Process The first step in creating a partition for the store.exe process is to start the Exchange 2000 server. Next, use the RPM application to create a new partition (EXstore) and assign the store.exe process to this partition. The Add Active Process GUI, shown in Figure 1, is used to assign processes to partitions. At this time, assign the store.exe process to the EXstore partition. For the purposes of this test, a second partition (manageapp) is created for the supporting applications (antivirus, in this particular example). Separate resource partitions could be created for other applications sharing resources on the same hardware. Figure 1.

Workload Management Pack, featuring Resource Partitioning Manager (RPM), is a resource
management tool to enable workload consolidations on ProLiant servers running Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, and DataCenter operating systems.
Workload
Management Pack increases the stability and availability of applications under Windows 2000,
thereby allowing customers to confidently deploy multiple applications on a single server.
RPM
builds upon the embedded job object technology in Windows 2000 to provide a quick and easy
way to manage processor and memory resources dynamically.

ONFIGURATION
On a server, RPM is used to create two resource partitions isolating Exchange 2000 Information
Store processes from supporting application processes.
The first partition contains the store.exe
process.
The second partition contains the processes associated with supporting applications:
an
Exchange 2000 antivirus scanner and a management application discovery agent.
Other
applications, such as management agents and backup/restore agents, are good candidates for an
RPM partition.
Processor-intensive services like MS_SEARCH (Microsoft’s content indexing
service) may also benefit from dedicated resources through RPM.
Add the Active Process
The first step in creating a partition for the store.exe process is to start the Exchange 2000 server.
Next, use the RPM application to create a new partition (
EXstore
) and assign the store.exe process
to this partition.
The Add Active Process GUI, shown in Figure 1, is used to assign processes to
partitions.
At this time, assign the store.exe process to the
EXstore
partition.
For the purposes of
this test, a second partition (manageapp) is created for the supporting applications (antivirus, in
this particular example).
Separate resource partitions could be created for other applications
sharing resources on the same hardware.
