WLMTK Version A.01.06 supports HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i V1.0 (B.11.11), and
HP-UX 11i V2.0 (B.11.23). It enhances functionality provided by HP-UX Workload Manager
(WLM) and simplifies using WLM with other products.
WLM provides goal-based workload management. This management enables automatic
resource allocation and application performance management through the use of prioritized
service-level objectives (SLOs). It provides this functionality by automating features of
HP Process Resource Manager (PRM), HP-UX Virtual Partitions, node partitions, and
processor sets.
WLMTK consists of several toolkits:
ApacheTK WLM Apache Toolkit facilitates the management and prioritization of
Apache-based workloads
The ApacheTK white paper illustrates how to:
• Separate Apache from Oracle database instances
• Separate Apache from batch work
• Isolate a resource-intensive CGI workload
• Isolate a resource-intensive servlet workload
• Separate all Apache Tomcat workloads from other Apache workloads
• Separate two departments’ applications using two Apache instances
• Separate module-based workloads with two Apache instances
• Manage Apache allocation by performance goal
DMTK WLM Duration Management Toolkit allows users to specify a desired
duration for an application
DMTK offers the ability to:
• Increase an application’s CPU resources if it may not complete in time
• Decrease an application’s CPU resources if it is completing too quickly
