WLMTK Version A.01.10.xx supports HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), and
HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31). 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, nPartitions, and processor
sets.
WLMTK consists of several toolkits:
ODBTK WLM Oracle Database Toolkit provides an easy mechanism for feeding
Oracle database metrics into HP-UX WLM.
ODBTK offers the ability to:
• Keep response times for your transactions below a given level by setting
response-time SLOs
• Increase an instance’s available CPU resources when a particular user
connects to the instance
• Increase an instance’s available CPU resources when more than n users
are connected
• Increase an instance’s available CPU resources when a particular job is
active
•Give an instance n percent of the CPU resources for each process in the
instance (This feature is available only with HP-UX WLM Version
A.01.02 and later.)
•Give an instance n percent of the CPU resources for each user
connection to the instance (This feature is available only with HP-UX
WLM Version A.01.02 and later.)
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
