HP Insight Global Workload Manager 6.0 Software: User Guide

Communications ports
gWLM uses the following ports for communications:
Managed nodes: 9617
CMS: 9618
If you need to change these ports, add the following lines:
com.hp.gwlm.cms.port = portX
com.hp.gwlm.node.port = portY
to both properties files:
• gwlmcms.properties
On HP-UX, this file is in /etc/opt/gwlm/conf/. On Windows, it is in C:\
Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\. (The given Windows
path is the default; however, a different path might have been selected at installation.)
• /etc/opt/gwlm/conf/gwlmagent.properties
The portX and portY values cannot be the same value.
The com.hp.gwlm.cms.port property must have the same portX value in all the properties
files—across all managed nodes and on the CMS. Similarly, the com.hp.gwlm.node.port
property must have the same portY value in all the properties files—across all managed nodes
and on the CMS.
You must restart gwlmcmsd and gwlmagent for the changes to take effect. If you are using
gWLM through HP SIM, you must also restart SIM. (On HP-UX, restart SIM daemons using
/opt/mx/bin/mxstop and mxstart. On Windows, restart the HP Systems Insight Manager
service.)
NOTE: Restarting gwlmcmsd temporarily disables HP Virtualization Manager and
HP Capacity Advisor.
Controlling gWLM’s startup behavior
The gWLM CMS daemon or service (gwlmcmsd) is set to start at boot by vseinitconfig.
Generally, you should not change this setting as it disables all VSE Management Software from
starting at boot.
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 Virtualization Manager
and HP Capacity Advisor.
The gwlmCtl file is shown below:
