HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes

Known problems and workarounds

WLM uses Temporary Instant Capacity only when more than 15 days

are available

Issue

WLM can optimize the use of Temporary Instant Capacity to meet the goals

of your workloads, using the least amount of temporary capacity needed to

met the workloads’ SLOs.

However, WLM does not use Temporary Instant Capacity when there are

fewer than 15 days of temporary capacity available.

This 15-day threshold is not mentioned elsewhere in the WLM

documentation.

Workaround

Add Temporary Instant Capacity so that the balance is greater than 15

days.

When you purchase additional temporary capacity, be sure to stop wlmpard

(using the -k option) before you add the capacity.

The WLM documentation will reflect this 15-day threshold in the next

release.

Automatic activation of Instant Capacity processor without

authorization

Issue

customer authorization.

Workaround

Please contact your HP representative.

If you have Instant Capacity or Pay Per Use (PPU) software installed,

either:

• Do not use WLM’s virtual partitions management, or

• Use vPars version A.03.01 or later
