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

Known problems and workarounds

GlancePlus/OpenView Performance Agent and processor sets

Issue

On systems with multiple processor sets configured, GlancePlus may have

incorrect data for the PRM_SYS group (ID 0). On these systems, GlancePlus

will incorrectly include processes that are outside of the default processor

set as belonging to the PRM_SYS group (ID 0).

As a result, WLM’s glance_prm data collection script cannot be used to

track application (APP or APP_PRM) metrics for the PRM_SYS group or any

PRM group defined based on a PSET.

Only GlancePlus is affected by this issue—WLM properly identifies

workload groups (PRM groups and their PRM IDs).

Workaround

For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), using GlancePlus C.03.55 or later and

installing patch PHKL_28052 addresses this issue.

For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), this issue is fixed in GlancePlus C.03.58.05.

GlancePlus may not correctly identify processes’ PRM groups

Issue

On some systems, GlancePlus would not correctly identify processes’ PRM

groups. WLM uses these PRM groups as its workload groups. On these

systems, GlancePlus would report all processes as belonging to the PRM_SYS

group (ID 0). As a result, WLM’s glance_prm data collection script could not

be used to track application (APP) metrics for a PRM group of processes.

Workaround

This issue is fixed in GlancePlus C.03.35.00. On HP-UX 11i v1, the best way

to get this upgrade is to install GlancePlus when installing the 11i

Enterprise or 11i Mission-critical Operating Environments.
