WLM WLM expands on the features of PRM by providing a
more dynamic way to allocate resources. WLM
automatically configures PRM based on criteria you
define (known as Service Level Objectives -- SLOs), and
by regularly monitoring resource availability. By
specifying the level of service you expect from your
computer and applications you have given WLM its
goals. WLM works with PRM and the HP-UX
schedulers to achieve and maintain these service-level
goals.Detailed information on WLM can be found in
HP-UX Workload Manager User’s Guide
