HP-UX Workload Manager User's Guide

WLM command reference
wlmd
Appendix A 375
-i Initializes workload group assignments, ensuring a
new configuration’s user, Unix group, compartment,
and application records are used when the same
workload groups exist in the active and new WLM
configurations.
Use this option when the following conditions are met:
• You have workload groups that are in both the
active WLM configuration and the new
configuration that you want to activate
• You are going to activate the new configuration
without first stopping the WLM daemon
Without -i, if a currently running process is in a
workload group that also exists in the new
configuration, the process stays in that group
regardless of application, user, compartment, or Unix
group records in the new configuration.
The -i option is only valid with the -a or -A options.
-p Causes WLM to run in passive mode. In this mode, you
can see how a particular configuration is going to
approximately affect your system—without the
configuration actually taking control of your system.
Using this mode allows you to analyze and fine-tune a
configuration.
To see how the configuration would affect your
workloads, use the WLM utility wlminfo.
The -p option must be used with the -a or -A options.
For information on passive mode, including its
limitations, see “Passive mode versus actual WLM
management” on page 238.
-s Causes WLM to run in secure mode if you have
distributed security certificates to the systems or
partitions being managed by the same WLM global
arbiter (wlmpard). For more information on using
security certificates, see wlmcert(1M).
