• 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 a virtual partition (vpar),
processor set (pset), or fss group. gWLM manages your workloads by controlling the
resource allocations to the vpars, psets, or fss groups.
• License to Use, or LTU (T2762AA)
You can obtain the gWLM CMS and the gWLM agent free of charge. The A.01.01.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. This license is available from the Application Release
media.
