HP-UX Workload Manager
HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) Version A.01.00.02 provides
goal-based workload management, enabling automatic resource
allocation and application performance management.
For HP-UX 11i, HP-UX WLM uses the Process Resource Manager (PRM)
C.01.08.2 to control resources. This coupling allows you to allocate
resources using the shares model. In this model, a workload’s resource
allocation depends on its number of shares relative to thetotal number of
shares assigned.
NOTE Process Resource Manager (see “HP-UX 11i Enterprise Operating
Environment (new)”) and HP-UX Workload Manager both make use of
the PRM API. Consequently, only one of these products should be used at
a time.
Besides resource shares, HP-UX WLM’s bundling with PRM provides:
• An SNMP agent for accessing PRM data
• Display of resource percentages to two decimal places (was formerly
integer precision)
• Expanded field length for PRM group names in PRM’s monitoring
utilities (30-character field was formerly 14-character field)
• In-kernel memory management
This version of HP-UX WLM does not take advantage of PRM’s
hierarchical groups.
