Allocate Available

[krreddi]

Can we allocate whole (not fraction) resources to entities to address full demand in the order of priority? If yes what is the Allocation function. I am presently using allocate available function and in case there is no function to do the above, then what can we do to the result from allocate available to achieve our goal?

Actually, thus functionality will be available in 5.10e which should be out in early December. If you would like to get access to an engineering release with this send me an email.

Bob,

I think I have sorted out that. I have tried for different values for pwidth and when the value is 0, the allocations are whole. The results are below and I hope it is right. Thanks for the reply.


With Ptype 1 and pwidth 4

With ptype 1 and pwidth 0
