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 101)

• HP Process Resource Manager (see page 103)

• HP-UX Virtual Partitions (see page 105)

• HP-UX Workload Manager (see page 106)

• HP-UX Workload Manager Toolkits (see page 108)

• nPartition Provider (see page 109)

• Partition Manager (parmgr) (see page 110)

• PRM Libraries (see page 111)

• vPar Provider (see page 112)

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 across multiple HP servers. 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.

has three components:

• Central Management Server, or CMS (T2412AA) (Available only for HP-UX systems)

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

installed.

• Agent (T2743AA on HP-UX; T2779AA on Linux)

Install the gWLM agent software on each system where you have workloads you

want gWLM to manage. These systems are known as managed nodes.
