HP Virtual Server Environment Management for Integrity Version 4.0 Release Notes

explained in the online help topic "pset / fss group tips" in the section "Precedence of
placement techniques."
If you use the psrset command to place processes in psets, gWLM is likely to move the
processes to the default pset.
Workaround To maintain the placement of a process, use gWLM's application records or
user records when creating or editing your workload definitions in gWLM. If using records
is not practical, use the gwlmplace command. However, you will have to use gwlmplace
after each redeploy of an SRD to put the processes back in the desired workloads.
• Unable to Remove Abandoned fss Groups fss groups created by gWLM can become
abandoned and cannot be easily removed. This situation can occur for various reasons. For
example, when managing an SRD based on fss groups, a second CMS is used — perhaps
because the original CMS went down. This can leave the SRD with fss groups that you
cannot remove.
Workaround Using the HP SIM interface, you can create a new SRD that automatically
integrates the existing fss groups.
Alternatively, you can remove the fss groups, in which case you have several options. If you
have PRM installed, enter the following command:
# /opt/prm/bin/prmconfig -r
If you do not have PRM installed, use the following procedure:
1. Run discovery:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm discover host --file=myfile.xml \
--type=fss
where host is the system with the fss groups.
2. Import myfile.xml into the configuration repository:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm import --file=myfile.xml
3. Determine the SRD name by running the following command and checking the output
for names that include host:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm list
For example, the name might be host.fss.xyz, where xyz are numbers 0-9.
4. Deploy the SRD:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm deploy --srd=host.fss.xyz
5. Undeploy the SRD:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm undeploy --srd=host.fss.xyz
The fss groups should now be gone from the system. However, their workload definitions
are still in the gWLM configuration repository. You can remove those definitions and the
SRD definition by using the gWLM interface in HP SIM. Select Tools→VSE Management,
then click the Shared Resource Domain tab. Select the SRD with the fss groups, and then
select Delete→Shared Resource Domain.
• Sizes/Allocations Less Than Policy Minimums for Virtual Machines The sizes or allocations
for virtual machines in a deployed SRD can appear to be less than their policy minimums.
Workaround Wait a few minutes, since it can take several minutes for gWLM to recognize
a virtual machine transition between the states of off and on.
• Negative Current Size for NONVM If the CPUs on a VM Host are oversubscribed when
you deploy an SRD on that host, gWLM shows current size for NONVM as a negative value.
Workaround Two options are available:
