• Starting with WLM A.02.02, WLM offers a cntl_smooth configuration file keyword.
It is recommended that you use the cntl_smooth WLM keyword instead of the
smooth tool and the expsmooth tool. For information on cntl_smooth, see the
wlmconf (4) manpage.
• For optimal performance when managing Oracle instances, be sure your
wlm_interval (set in the WLM configuration) is at least 10 seconds.
•The utilitydc utility has been modified as indicated below:
— It now supports the activation and deactivation of Temporary iCOD resources
based on your SLOs.
— It now allows you to specify a minimum number of processors to keep active on a
system. Even if utilitydc determines the system's SLOs can be met with fewer
processors, a certain number of processors can always be kept active. For more
information, see the -m option in the utilitydc (1M) manpage.

HP-UX Workload Manager Oracle  Database Toolkit
As described earlier (“HP-UX Workload Manager” on page 142), 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.
updated for June
