Configuring HP WebQoS for HP-UX

Conﬁguring HP WebQoS

Chapter 3 25

The steps below are explained in detail in the sections following.

1. Modify conﬁguration ﬁles from the command line before starting

WebQoS.

2. Conﬁgure your web server.

3. Run the WebQoS setup script to start the WebQoS SCO.

4. Start the WebQoS management user interface. The WebQoS SCO

must be started prior to starting the management user interface.

5. Use the management user interface to conﬁgure one or more systems.

A system is a computer with web sites and application servers

managed by WebQoS.

6. Use the management user interface to conﬁgure one or more services.

A service is a way to logically group web sites that are related to the

same business application. You can view logical groups of web sites as

a single entity in the management user interface and you can set a

service level objective for the service that allows you to put limits on

the number of concurrent sessions.

7. Use the management user interface to conﬁgure one or more sites. A

site is a web server instance that is managed by WebQoS. When you

conﬁgure a site, you do the following:

• Connect the site logically to a previously conﬁgured service so you

can view grouped sites belonging to that service in the

management user interface.

• Specify the system and port number which identify the site. The

system must already be conﬁgured in WebQoS. You can look at all

the sites on a system in the management user interface.

• Prioritize requests to the site with request classiﬁcation rules.

• Deﬁne response time and capacity objectives and policies for the

site.

• Set service level objectives for the site.

8. Use the management user interface to edit your site(s).

9. Conﬁgure necessary ﬁles from the command line after conﬁguration

is completed from the management user interface.
