will run in the associated workload group. WLM supports Unix group records only if PRM

C.03.02 or later is running on the system. For more information, see wlmconf(4) or the

HP-UX Workload Manager User’s Guide.

• Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP) activates capacity in a temporary “calling-card

fashion,” such as in 30-day increments (where a day equals 24 hours for one core). With

Temporary Instant Capacity on the system, any number of Instant Capacity cores can be

activated as long as your prepaid temporary capacity time has not expired. By default, if

fewer than 15 processing days are available, WLM stops activating Temporary Instant

Capacity resources. Beginning with this release of WLM, you can change this default by

setting the WLM global arbiter utility_reserve_threshold keyword.

• The Pay per use Toolkit (PPUTK) and the utilitydc command are no longer supported

and have been removed from the product. Please use the simpler and more robust

Temporary Instant Capacity/Pay per use solution available with wlmpard.

• The WLM installation script no longer detects whether the correct version of the Java

Runtime Environment (JRE) is running or whether the correct version of PRM is running.

To run the WLM GUI (wlmgui) and the wizard (wlmcw) requires JRE version 1.4.2 or later

and, for PRM-based configurations, 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).

Known problems and workarounds

This section discusses problems and workarounds.

System panic when PRM is enabled; install failure in absence of PRM

when certain kernel patches are present

Issue On HP-UX 11i v1, a system panic problem occurs when Process Resource

Manager (PRM) is enabled. In addition, WLM installation fails when certain

core kernel patches are present and PRM is absent.

Workaround Install the version A.01.00.00.07 or later PROCSETS product bundle, which

includes critical core kernel and processor set patches. It also installs

patches PHKL_30032 through PHKL_30036 or their superseding patches.

For patch descriptions, refer to Table 1-4 on page 31.
