HP-UX Workload Manager A.03.00 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2

HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes
What’s in this version
10
• New behavior when the sum of the gmincpu values exceed the total CPU
Previously, when this sum exceeded the total CPU, the values were scaled down
proportionately so that the sum equals the total CPU. Now, those values are treated as
CPU requests to be met before any other requests are considered. Any weight values
assigned to the workload groups apply.
• Pay Per Use Toolkit being deprecated
The toolkit, including its utilitydc command, is being deprecated. Support for the
command will be removed in a future release. In the meantime, it is still documented in
the utilitydc(1M) man page.
Please begin upgrading to the simpler and more robust solution provided by wlmpard and
the new keyword utilitypri. For information on the new solution and keyword, see the
wlmpard(1M) and wlmparconf(4) man pages.
• Deprecated memory record syntax no longer supported
The following syntax was deprecated in WLM A.02.00:
mem = group : ent [cap] [sup] [method] [, ...];
As of this release, it is no longer supported.
If you would like information on how to duplicate the behavior provided, email
[e-mail].
• Deprecated syntax for PSET-based groups no longer supported
The numcpus and cpus portions of the following syntax were deprecated in WLM A.02.01:
groups = group : PSET [ { [numcpus = integer] [cpus = ID1, ID2, ...] } ];
As of this release, those portions are no longer supported.

— usage_goal_dflt_low
— usage_goal_dflt_high
As of this release, these tunables are no longer supported.
•A wlmd configuration is rejected if absolute_cpu_units is set explicitly to 0 when PSETs
or the primary_host keyword are present
•Multiple prm structures are no longer allowed
