A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for balancing management loads. Loads are analyzed for a plurality of hardware control points to form an analysis in response to receiving a notification from a hardware control point indicating that a new manageable data processing system has been discovered. One of the plurality of hardware control points is selected using the analysis to form a selected hardware control point. The message is sent to the selected hardware control point to manage the new manageable data processing system, wherein the selected hardware control point manages the new manageable data processing system.

A method, computer program product, and system for allocating resources on computer systems are provided. The method, computer program product, and system provide for displaying a resource allocation matrix, the resource allocation matrix including a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells indicating a quantity of one of a plurality of resources on one of a plurality of physical systems allocated to one of a plurality of virtual systems hosted by the one physical system, receiving an input changing the quantity indicated in a cell, the cell indicating the quantity of a resource on a physical system allocated to a virtual system hosted by the physical system, and adjusting the quantity of the resource allocated to the virtual system based on the input.
