HP-UX WLM offers the following features:
• Automatic allocation of CPU resources (cores) to your most critical applications
(allocation of time slices on cores as well as whole cores when managing processor sets,
virtual partitions, or nPartitions)
A core is the actual data-processing engine within a processor, where a single processor
might have multiple cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads; for more
information, see the WLM HP-UX Workload Manager User’s Guide.
• User-configured allocation of real memory and disk bandwidth resources
• Shares-based and goal-based SLOs
• CPU shares-per-metric allocations, which allow you to give a workload, for example, 2% of
the CPU resources for each process in the workload
• Multiple SLOs at different priorities, allowing you to have a “must meet” goal and
optional stretch goals for each workload
• Passive mode for analyzing a configuration’s behavior
• Audit and billing data
• Ability to set minimum and maximum amounts of cores available to a workload
• Time-based and metric-based activation of SLOs, including the ability to activate SLOs
associated with a Serviceguard package on failover
• GUI for creating, modifying, and deploying WLM configurations locally and on remote
systems
• Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager, allowing you to remotely control WLM
running on numerous nodes from a single point of administration
