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

Compatibility information and installation requirements

Compatibility with long hostnames

WLM supports long hostnames. You must install the bundle NodeHostNameXpnd and

configure the feature first though. For more information, see the section “Installation

procedure” on page 25.

Compatibility with X Windows

The WLM configuration wizard (/opt/wlm/bin/wlmcw) and the WLM monitoring GUI (invoked

with wlminfo -i or wlmgui) were verified with the following X Windows variants:

• X Windows on HP-UX

• XFree86, Version 4.1.0-15 (Linux)

• Reflection X for Windows 2000

HP makes no claims with respect to other variants.

Compatibility with GlancePlus

You can use GlancePlus to monitor PRM, which WLM uses. GlancePlus also provides metrics

that you can use to drive SLOs.

WLM is compatible with any HP-UX 11i version of GlancePlus. On HP-UX 11i v1, be sure to

install the 11i Enterprise Operating Environment or 11i Mission-critical Operating

Environment to ensure you have a GlancePlus version that is fully compatible with WLM.

NOTE Do not use GlancePlus to change PRM allocations. WLM controls PRM.

Compatibility of WLM’s virtual partition management and

Instant Capacity / PPU

If you have Instant Capacity or Pay Per Use (PPU) software installed, use WLM’s virtual

partitions management only if you have vPars version A.03.01 or later.

If you have a vPars version prior to A.03.01, using WLM’s virtual partition management may

cause an Instant Capacity processor to be automatically enabled without customer

authorization. If this situation occurs, please contact your HP representative.

With vPars version A.04.01 or later, use Instant Capacity v7 or later.
