HP Partitioning
Partitioning provides the ability to subdivide system resources into isolated regions that
operate independently from each other (the equivalent of a box within a box). HP is the
only high-end UNIX offering to provide a broad range of solutions designed to meet the
diverse needs of our customers. Changes to these solutions are described in the following
sub-sections:
• HP Global Workload Manager (see page 107)
• HP-UX Workload Manager (see page 109)
• nPartition Provider (see page 110)
• Partition Manager (see page 111)
• vPar Provider (see page 113)
HP Global Workload Manager
HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) is a tool that allows you to centrally define
resource-sharing policies that you can use throughout your environment. These policies
increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing of system resources.
gWLM's monitoring abilities provide both real-time and historical monitoring of the
resource allocation.
gWLM A.01.01.x has three components:
• Central Management Server, or CMS (T2412AA)
You configure gWLM and monitor your workloads on the system where the CMS
software is installed. This system must also have HP Systems Insight Manager (HP
SIM)
1
installed.
Until December 2005, CMS was delivered on the AR media. Now it can only be
obtained from the HP Software Depot (see following “Summary” note).
• Agent (T2743AA)
Install the gWLM agent software on each system where you have workloads you
want gWLM to manage. These systems are known as managed nodes. On HP-UX
managed nodes, you place each workload in an nPartition (npar), virtual partition
(vpar), processor set (pset), or fss group. gWLM manages your workloads by
controlling the resource allocations to the npars, vpars, psets, or fss groups.
The gWLM agent software is delivered on the OE media as a default-installed
product.
