HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes

Compatibility information and installation requirements

Using the swinstall Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Using the swinstall GUI can simplify installation. The steps below illustrate how to use the

GUI to install patches and WLM from a depot (Step 8 above):

Step 1. Start the swinstall GUI:

# /usr/sbin/swinstall -s depot_path

where depot_path is the path for the depot you created for the patches, patch

bundles, and WLM.

Step 2. Select “Manage Patch Selection” under the Actions menu. (Do not select the menu

item labeled “Match What Target Has”. That item is for loading products, not

patches.)

Step 3. From the resulting submenu, select:

“Automatically select patches for software installed on the target”.

Because this is not the default selection, you may need to unmark the other option

before proceeding.

The swinstall command will now scan the depot, and mark patches to be loaded.

Step 4. Return to the Actions menu and select any other individual patches, patch bundles,

and WLM (B8843CA) for installation once the marking phase is complete.

Step 5. Choose “Install (analysis)...” from the Actions menu.

Step 6. Select OK to install the software after the analysis phase is completed.

Because these products contain kernel filesets, SD will prompt you that a reboot is

necessary.

NOTE If this was the first time you installed WLM and you have not previously

installed PRM, be sure to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/prm to set the following

variables as indicated:

PRM_CONFIG=0

PRM_RMTCONF=0

These settings prevent PRM and its remote configuration daemon from starting

automatically at reboot. (The PRM remote configuration daemon is not useful

with WLM and does not need to be started.)
