Compatibility with Java
To run the WLM GUI (wlmgui) or wizard (wlmcw), Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or
later is required. For PRM-based configurations, these interfaces require 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) media, 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, see “Using the swinstall Graphical User Interface (GUI)” (page 34).
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.
NOTE: When WLM is managing multiple partitions together, they must all use the same WLM
major version. For example, all the partitions must be using WLM A.03.04 or they must all be
using WLM A.03.02.xx (either A.03.02 or A.03.02.02).
To install WLM:
