Configuring CPU and Memory Resources (osc-setcoremem)
The osc-setcoremem tool is supported on all SuperCluster systems that run SuperCluster 1.x
software with the July 2015 quarterly update, and SuperCluster 2.x software.
Use these topics to change CPU and memory allocations for domains using the CPU/Memory
tool called osc-setcoremem.

osc-setcoremem Overview
SuperCluster compute server CPU and memory resources are initially allocated during
installation as defined by your configuration. CPU sockets are assigned to domains in the same
proportion as IB HCAs. Memory is assigned in the same proportions.
The osc-setcoremem tool enables you to migrate CPU cores and memory resources between
dedicated domains, and from dedicated domains to CPU and memory repositories for the use of
IO domains.
