Compatibility with long hostnames
WLM supports long host names. You must install the bundle NodeHostNameXpnd and configure
the feature first though. For more information, refer to the section “Installation procedure ”
(page 25).
Compatibility with X Windows
The WLM configuration wizard (/opt/wlm/bin/wlmcw) and the WLM monitoring GUI (invoked
with wlminfo -i or wlmgui) were verified with the following X Windows variants:
• X Windows on HP-UX
• XFree86, Version 4.1.0-15 (Linux)
• Reflection X for Windows 2000
HP makes no claims with respect to other variants.
Compatibility with GlancePlus
You can use GlancePlus to monitor PRM, which WLM uses. GlancePlus also provides metrics
that you can use to drive SLOs.
WLM is compatible with any HP-UX 11i version of GlancePlus.
