HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes

Compatibility information and installation requirements

Workaround

Install PRM.

Processes in transient FSS groups appear in other workload groups

Issue

A deployed WLM configuration that has transient_groups set to 1 and

contains FSS transient group candidates from time-to-time contains an FSS

group called _IDLE_. As needed, WLM moves the jobs of the transient

groups to _IDLE_, where they get only 1% of the system. The internal

identifier for group _IDLE_ is picked by WLM on the fly (taken from the pool

of unused identifiers).

On a redeployment, if the new configuration contains an FSS group that

happens to have the identifier of the _IDLE_ group from the deployment

that is being replaced, jobs in the _IDLE_ group will migrate to the FSS

group having the same identifier.

The same issue can arise going from:

• A transient deployment to another transient deployment

• A transient deployment to a non-transient deployment

Workaround

You can prevent this situation by using the -i option to wlmd when

deploying or redeploying a configuration.
