Using HP-UX Workload Manager: A quick reference

The wlmd daemon 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

appropriate secure mode variables in /etc/rc.config.d/wlm are set correctly. For more

information on these variables, see the wlmcert(1M) manpage.

5. Create a configuration file for the global arbiter.

On the system running the global arbiter, create a configuration file for the global arbiter. (If this

system is being managed by WLM, it will have both a WLM configuration file and a WLM global

arbiter configuration file. You can set up and run the global arbiter configuration on a system that

is not managed by WLM if needed for the creation of fault-tolerant environments or Serviceguard

environments.)

This global arbiter configuration file is required. In the file specify the:

• Global arbiter interval

• Port used for communications between the partitions

• Size at which to truncate wlmpardstats log file

• Lowest priority at which Temporary Instant Capacity (v6 or later) or Pay per use (v4, v7, or

later) resources are used

NOTE

Specifying this priority ensures WLM maintains compliance with your

usage rights for Temporary Instant Capacity. When your prepaid

amount of temporary capacity expires, WLM no longer attempts to

use the temporary resources.

For information on the syntax of this file, see the wlmparconf(4) manpage.

6. (Optional) Activate the global arbiter configuration file in passive mode.

Similar to the WLM passive mode, the WLM global arbiter has a passive mode (also enabled

with the -p option) that allows you to verify wlmpard settings before letting it control your system.

Activate the global arbiter configuration file configfile in passive mode as follows:

# wlmpard -p -a configfile

Again, to see approximately how the configuration would affect your system, use the WLM utility

wlminfo.

7. Activate the global arbiter.

Activate the global arbiter configuration file as follows:

# wlmpard -a configfile

To use secure communications, activate the file using the -s option:

# wlmpard -s -a configfile

The global arbiter runs in secure mode by default when you use the /sbin/init.d/wlm script to
