Managing SLOs across partitions
Setting up your WLM configuration file
Chapter 7264
# wlmpard -s -a configfile
The global arbiter runs in secure mode by default when you use the
/sbin/init.d/wlm script to start WLM. If you upgraded WLM, secure mode
might not be the default. Ensure that the WLMPARD_SECURE_ENABLE
variable in /etc/rc.config.d/wlm is enabled. For more information, see
“Securing WLM communications” on page 244.
NOTE In a complex (a system divided into either nPartitions or virtual
partitions):
• If the complex is an Instant Capacity system, you must use exactly
one wlmpard process to manage all the partitions in the complex that
are under WLM control.
• If the complex is not an Instant Capacity system, you must use a
separate wlmpard process for each nPartition—with each wlmpard
managing only the virtual partitions within its nPartition.
A complex is an Instant Capacity system if Instant Capacity is installed
and an Instant Capacity license is applied on the system.
For information on the wlmpard syntax, see Appendix A, “WLM
command reference,” on page 363 or see wlmpard(1M).
Setting up your WLM configuration file
In each partition, you must activate a WLM configuration that indicates
the host name for the system running the WLM global arbiter. Indicate
the host of the global arbiter as follows, specifying the primary_host
keyword outside all prm, slo, and tune structures. (If you are using the
WLM GUI (wlmgui), a default host name is provided when you add a new
“Partition Set”; you can then modify the provided host name by selecting
it in the left pane and entering your preferred host name in the
“Hostname” field in the right pane that then appears.)
primary_host = hostname [ : port_number ] ;
