HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes
Compatibility information and installation requirements
27
WLM and PRM should not be used to manage the same system at the same time. Using these
products to control resources at the same time may cause inconsistent behavior and
undesirable performance.
WLM uses PRM for some types of resource management. You can bypass WLM and use PRM
directly; however, if you do use PRM directly through its own configuration file, do not use any
of the WLM interfaces.
When using WLM, you can use PRM’s informational and monitoring commands such as
prmlist and prmmonitor. You can also use the prmrun and prmmove commands, among
others. If you use the prmconfig command, invoke it with no options or the -u (unlock)
option—do not use the -r (reset) option.
Compatibility with gWLM
WLM and HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) should not be used to manage the same
system at the same time. Using these products to control resources at the same time may
cause inconsistent behavior and undesirable performance.
