Using HP-UX Workload Manager with

BEA WebLogic Server

HP-UX WLM BEA WebLogic Server Toolkit (WebLogicTK) provides a data collector called wlmwlsdc

that tracks metrics indicating how busy WebLogic Server instances are. The toolkit is a component of

the WLM Toolkits product, which is included with WLM.

WebLogicTK offers the ability to:

• Manually provide a single instance with an increasing amount of CPU resources in the form of a

dynamic pSet for benchmarking

• Separate an instance from other workloads, as well as from other instances, while automatically

maintaining performance using a dynamic pSet based on:

– Group CPU usage

– Server instance queue metrics

For more information, see the wlmwlsdc(1M) manpage and the white paper, “Using HP-UX Workload

Manager with BEA WebLogic Server,” which offers various use cases. This paper is installed on

systems with WLM at /opt/wlm/toolkits/weblogic/doc/weblogic_wlm_howto.html. It is also

available at http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/cache/325462-0-0-0-121.html.

Using HP-UX Workload Manager with SAP

WLM and its SAP Toolkit (SAPTK), in conjunction with the HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP

(SGeSAP) product, take advantage of the WLM process map feature to enable you to identify

different SAP processes and place them into separate workloads. The SAPTK process ID identifier,

called wlmsapmap, enables you to identify and isolate entire SAP instances (or just subsets of an

instance’s processes) as a separate workload. For example, you can use wlmsapmap to collect SAP

batch and dialog (interactive) processes and place them in separate workload groups. WLM can

prioritize and assign specific SAP processes to workload groups. You can:

• Isolate an entire SAP system as a workload

• Isolate an SAP instance as a workload

• Separate SAP processes from an instance and place them in a workload

For more information, see the white paper, “Using HP-UX Workload Manager with SAP,” available at

/opt/wlm/toolkits/sap/doc/sap_wlm_howto.html and also at http://www.hp.com/go/wlm.

Using HP-UX Workload Manager with SNMP

WLM and its SNMP Toolkit (SNMPTK) provide integration with the HP-UX SNMP agent. SNMPTK

includes a data collector, called snmpdc, which fetches values from an SNMP agent so that you can

use them as metrics in your WLM configuration. SNMPTK provides easy access to SNMP agent

metrics that you can use in your WLM configuration to:

• Drive SLO goals

• Set up shares-per-metric allocations

• Enable and disable SLOs
