HP Global Workload Manager 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 User Guide

Table 1 Default weights by policy type (continued)
Default weightPolicy type
(You cannot deploy an SRD where all the workloads with fixed policies are not
satisfied.)

NOTE: To ensure CPU resource allocations behave as expected for OwnBorrow policies, the
sum of the CPU resources owned cannot exceed the number of cores in the SRD. (However, if the
sum is less than the number of cores in the SRD, the excess is distributed to all compartments in
proportion to the amounts owned. Thus, workloads will routinely get more than they are due.)
Available interfaces
There are two interfaces for controlling and monitoring gWLM:
• Systems Insight Manager
A web-based interface accessed through the Shared Resource Domain tab reached through
the Tools→HP Matrix OE visualization... menu in Systems Insight Manager (access Systems
Insight Manager via the URL http://hostname:280 where hostname represents the name of
your Virtual Server Environment Management Software CMS).
To orient with gWLM, see the gWLM Home page. To view the gWLM Home page, select
Tools→HP Matrix OE visualization... from the System Insight Manager menu bar. Then from
the HP Matrix OE visualization menu bar, select
Tools→Global Workload Manager→Getting Started - gWLM Home…
(The System Insight Manager menu bar and HP Matrix OE visualization menu bar are discussed
in the section “Tabs and menus” (page 17).)
• gwlm command
A command-line interface, described in gwlm(1M) .
Other components of the command-line interface are: vseinitconfig(1M), gwlmcmsd(1M),
gwlmagent(1M), gwlmreport(1M), gwlmplace(1M), gwlmsend(1M), gwlmsslconfig(1M),
gwlmstatus(1M), and gwlmxml(4).
Assumptions
It is assumed that you have already installed the following software:

• HP Matrix Operating Environment Management Software CMS
• gWLM agent on your managed nodes
For information about setting up System Insight Manager, see the documentation available at
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.
The following steps give an overview of the System Insight Manager installation process. When
you install the Matrix OE Management Software and gWLM, you must do the following:
