HP-UX 11i Version 2 December 2007 Release Notes

gWLM manages your workloads by controlling the resource allocations to the npars, vpars,
virtual machines, psets, or fss groups.
• License to Use, or LTU (T2762AA)
You can obtain the CMS and the agent free of charge. The A.03.00.01.x agent works for a
period of 120 days. After the 120 days, the agent:
— Cannot be restarted once it is stopped
— Refuses changes to deployed SRD configurations
— Refuses to deploy new SRD configurations
To continue using gWLM agents after a free-use period has ended, you must install a license
on each managed node. It is also available as part of the VSE LTU (T2786AC), which enables
you to use gWLM and all the other components of the VSE suite.
