HP-UX Workload Manager User's Guide

Chapter 5 135
5Configuring WLM
This chapter introduces the WLM configuration file and how to activate
the configuration so that WLM manages the system. It covers the
creation and activation of the WLM configuration file.
The WLM configuration file is the main user interface for controlling
WLM. This file is an ASCII file that you can edit with a text editor.
WLM does not have a default configuration file.
NOTE WLM and PRM have separate configuration files, each with its own
syntax. While WLM and PRM configuration files can define an
equivalent configuration, the files cannot be interchanged. For
information on converting an existing PRM configuration file to a WLM
configuration file, see Appendix G, “Migrating from PRM to WLM,” on
page 465.
A WLM configuration file consists of:
•The version keyword
•The icod_thresh_pri keyword
•The icod_filter_intervals keyword
•The primary_host keyword, discussed in Chapter 7, “Managing
SLOs across partitions,” on page 255
• System-wide settings
• Zero or one prm structures
• slo structures
• tune structures
