If you have previously installed WLM or PRM, ensure that PRM’s remote configuration daemon
is disabled from starting automatically by setting the variable PRM_RMTCONF to 0 in the file
/etc/rc.config.d/prm:
PRM_RMTCONF=0
8. Shut down WLM if it is currently running
Run the following command on every system or partition where you will install/upgrade WLM:
# /opt/wlm/bin/wlmd -k
Also shut down any running instances of the WLM global arbiter:
# /opt/wlm/bin/wlmpard -k
9. Install patches and install/upgrade WLM
NOTE: The procedure below explains installation using the command-line version of
swinstall. For information on using the swinstall GUI, refer to the section “Using the
swinstall Graphical User Interface (GUI)” (page 28).
WLM is bundled as B8843CA, which contains the products Workload-Mgr, WLM-Monitor,
and WLM-Dev tools. If desired, you can use swlist to list the product’s filesets:
# swlist -l fileset -s depot_path B8843CA
Installing WLM ensures that the following product is also installed:
• WLM Toolkits A.01.10.xx (WLMToolkits)
If the system already has the correct version installed, it will not be modified.
The WLM product B8843CA replaces the WLM product B8843BA from WLM Version 1.0.
If you install using swinstall’s match_target option, the new B8843CA product will
match your installed B8843BA product.
Workload Manager is installed in /opt/wlm/. The manpages are also installed in /opt/wlm/.
