HP Insight Global Workload Manager 6.0 Software: User Guide

1. Decide which system will be your central management server (CMS), then install the VSE
Management Software CMS on that system.
This system must also have HP SIM installed and running.
2. Initialize the CMS by running the vseinitconfig command.
For more information, see vseinitconfig(1M).
3. Decide which systems will be your managed nodes, then install the gWLM agent software
on those systems. (The agent software is free, but it is functional only for a limited time. For
unlimited use, purchase the agent license to use, or LTU.)
4. On each managed node, start the gWLM agent daemon gwlmagent.
You can perform the last two steps through HP SIM, as described in the VSE Management Software
Installation and Update Guide.
