HP-UX Workload Manager (AR Media Release)
HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) A.03.02 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
automating features of HP-UX Virtual Partitions, nPartitions, Processor Sets, and HP Process
Resource Manager (PRM).
Summary of Change
In December 2007, WLM has not changed on the Operating Environments (OE) media. However,
WLM is available for separate purchase on the Application Release (AR) media.
NOTE: As of version A.03.01, WLM on the AR media no longer includes PRM in the bundle.
However, with your purchase of WLM, you are entitled to a PRM license. For information on
receiving the PRM license, contact your regional licensing service organization.
