HP-UX Workload Manager A.03.01 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2

HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes

What’s in this version

WLM A.03.01 provides the following new or changed functionality.

• WLM A.03.01 no longer includes Process Resource Manager (PRM) in the bundle.

With PRM no longer in the bundle, upgrading WLM does not trigger a reboot.

WLM will run only with PRM C.03.00 or later. If PRM C.03.00 or later is already on the

machine where you are installing or upgrading WLM, you can continue to manage FSS

and PSET-based workload groups just as if PRM had been installed with WLM.

If you are installing WLM for the first time on a machine, you can only use a strictly

host-based configuration—a configuration designed exclusively for moving CPUs across

HP-UX Virtual Partitions or nPartitions, or for activating Temporary Instant Capacity

cores or Pay Per Use CPUs. To manage FSS and PSET-based workload groups, you must

install PRM separately. With your purchase of WLM, you are entitled to a PRM license.

For information on receiving the PRM license, contact your regional licensing service

organization.

When the Servicecontrol Manager (SCM) bundle is built during the WLM installation, it

will include the PRM API only if PRM is already installed. The SCM integration bundle

will not be able to validate PRM-based configurations without the PRM API.

NOTE WLM’s configuration wizard requires PRM. If you plan to use the WLM

configuration wizard, install the appropriate version of PRM.

• WLM now supports Pay Per Use (PPU) v7 (as well as v4).

With PPU v7, WLM can reduce costs by activating and deactivating CPUs as needed if

your cost is based on the number of active CPUs on the system.

• WLM now supports HP Integrity Virtual Machines.

WLM supports HP Integrity Virtual Machines (also referred to as Integrity VM). You can

run WLM both on the Integrity VM Host and in an Integrity VM (guest), but each WLM

runs as an independent instance. To run WLM on the VM Host, you must use a strictly

host-based configuration—a WLM configuration designed exclusively for moving CPUs

across HP-UX Virtual Partitions or nPartitions, or for activating Temporary Instant

Capacity cores or Pay Per Use CPUs. (WLM will not run with FSS groups or PSETs on an

Integrity VM Host where guests are running.) WLM runs inside an Integrity VM but does
