HP-UX Workload Manager Oracle Database Toolkit
new for
September 2001
As described earlier (“HP-UX Workload Manager” on page 84), HP-UX WLM provides
goal-based workload management. This management enables automatic resource
allocation and application performance management through the use of prioritized
service-level objectives (SLOs). It provides this functionality by building on HP Process
Resource Manager (PRM) functionality.
WLM Oracle Database Toolkit (ODBTK) A.01.00, product number T1302AA, provides an
easy mechanism for feeding Oracle database metrics into HP-UX WLM.
ODBTK offers the following features:
• Keeps response times for your transactions below a given level by setting
response-time SLOs
• Increases an instance’s available CPU when a particular user connects to the
instance
• Increases an instance’s available CPU when more than
n
users are connected
• Increases an instance’s available CPU when a particular job is active
• Gives an instance
n
percent of the CPU for each process in the instance (This feature
is available only with HP-UX WLM version A.01.02 and later.)
• Gives an instance
n
percent of the CPU for each user connection to the instance (This
feature is available only with HP-UX WLM version A.01.02 and later.)
These features are provided by ODBTK’s:
• Ability to gather and send Oracle database metrics (elapsed walltime and SQL
values) to HP-UX WLM for use in service-level objectives
• Ability to average extreme values in database metrics before sending them to HP-UX
WLM (This feature maintains a more smooth and predictable stream of metrics.)
Compatibility
• HP-UX WLM version A.01.02 on HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11i
• HP-UX WLM version A.01.01 on HP-UX 11.0
• Oracle 8.0.x, Oracle 8.1.5, Oracle 8.1.6, and Oracle 8.1.7
