Appendix A384
wlmpard
The wlmpard command controls the HP-UX WLM global arbiter, which
governs cross-partition management as well as management of
Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP) and Pay per use (PPU) resources.
Every global arbiter interval (120 seconds by default), the WLM global
arbiter checks for CPU resource requests from the partitions using that
global arbiter.
When managing partitions, the arbiter then moves cores across
partitions, if needed, to better achieve the SLOs specified in the WLM
configuration files that are active in the partitions. (Given the physical
nature of nPartitions, WLM only simulates core movement—as
described in Chapter 7, “Managing SLOs across partitions,” on
page 255.) The WLM daemon wlmd must be running in each partition.
Also, the WLM configuration in each partition must use the keyword
primary_host to reference the name of the host of the partition where
the global arbiter is running.
For information on the syntax of the global arbiter configuration file, see
wlmparconf(4).
Only root can run wlmpard. The following are valid option combinations:
wlmpard -h
wlmpard -V
wlmpard -C
wlmpard [-p] [-s] [-t] [-n] [-l par[=n]] -A
wlmpard [-p] [-s] [-t] [-n] [-l par[=n]] -a configfile
wlmpard [-n] -c configfile
wlmpard -k
where:
-h
Displays usage information and exits. This option
overrides all other options.
