A system and method for uniformly administering parameters for a load distribution
and load control of a computer platform includes a processor and a storage mechanism.
Software components run on the processor, and include a manager component, which
is a load model manager, that uniformly administers parameters for a load distribution
and load control of the system. The platform further includes a catalog stored
in the storage mechanism via which the load model manager administers the parameters.
The catalog includes a plurality of tables. Each of the tables respectively includes
a load model which is a complete, consistent set of parameters that influence the
load distribution of the load control of the computer system.
