HP-UX Workload Manager A.03.02.xx Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3

HP-UX Workload Manager Release Notes

Compatibility information and installation requirements

CPUCAPOFF mode, enabled with the prmconfig -M CPUCAPOFF command. (In this mode, a

PRM group’s upper bound for CPU resource consumption is determined by the CAP value,

available on HP-UX 11i v3 and later. For more information, see the HP Process Resource

Manager User’s Guide or prmconfig(1M).)

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.

Compatibility with Java

To run the WLM GUI (wlmgui) or wizard (wlmcw), Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2 or

later is required. For PRM-based configurations, these utilities require the PRM C.03.00 or

later. To take advantage of the latest updates to WLM, use the latest version of PRM (C.03.02

or later).

Installation procedure

If you are installing WLM from the quarterly Application Release (AR) CD-ROM, use the

procedure in this section to minimize system reboots.

To install your software, use the SD-UX swinstall command. For information on installing

using a GUI, refer to “Using the swinstall Graphical User Interface (GUI)” on page 41.

NOTE If you are upgrading your version of WLM, after installation, you must

explicitly restart HP-UX WLM with the wlmd -a or wlmd -A commands.
