HP Global Workload Manager 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 User Guide

On HP-UX, you can control whether the gWLM CMS daemon (gwlmcmsd) and its agent daemons
on the managed nodes (gwlmagent) start at boot by:
• Manually setting variables in the /etc/rc.config.d/gwlmCtl file. (The /sbin/init.d/
gwlmcmsd and /sbin/init.d/gwlmagt scripts use these variables.)
• Using the --enable_start_on_boot and --disable_start_on_boot options to
gwlmcmsd and gwlmagent.
On Windows, to control whether the gWLM CMS daemon (gwlmcmsd) starts at boot: Right-click
the My Computer icon, click Manage, double-click Services & Applications, double-click Services,
right-click HP Global Workload Manager Central Management Server, select Properties, and change
the Startup type to the desired setting.
NOTE: HP recommends starting these daemons at boot only when used in a secure operating
environment.
Setting GWLM_CMS_START to 0 (zero) prevents automatic use at boot of HP Matrix OE visualization
and HP Capacity Advisor.
The gwlmCtl file is shown below:

Automatic restart of gWLM’s managed nodes in SRDs (high availability)
Whenever a managed node boots, the node’s gWLM agent attempts to automatically rejoin the
node in its SRD, providing high availability. The only configuration steps you need to perform for
this behavior to happen are:
1. Ensure the /etc/rc.config.d/gwlmCtl file on each managed node has
GWLM_AGENT_START set to 1. You can run the following command on each system where
gwlmagent is running to make this change for you:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlmagent --enable_start_on_boot
In the same file, you also need GWLM_CMS_START=1 on the system where gwlmcmsd is
running. However, when you ran vseinitconfig during installation, this change was
automatically made.
