5.1.3 About Interdatabase Resource Management

Interdatabase resource management enables you to manage resources for multiple databases using the same shared storage.

An interdatabase plan specifies how resources are allocated by percentage or share among multiple databases for each storage server. The directives in an interdatabase plan specify allocations to databases, rather than consumer groups. The interdatabase plan is configured and enabled with the CellCLI utility at each storage server.
