Testing your configuration file without HP-UX Workload

Manager controlling the system

WLM provides a passive mode that enables you to see approximately how WLM will respond to a

given configuration, without putting WLM in charge of your system resources. Using this mode, you

can analyze the behavior of your configuration, with minimal effect on the system. Besides being

useful in understanding and experimenting with WLM, passive mode can be helpful in capacity-

planning activities.

Passive mode is available with both the WLM daemon and the WLM global arbiter daemon through

the -p option.
