HP Insight Global Workload Manager 6.0 Software: User Guide

B Global Workload Manager A.6.0.0.* Known issues
This appendix contains the limitations and known issues for the Global Workload Manager
(gWLM) A.6.0.0.* release.
Limitations
The following are limitations for Global Workload Manager.
Unpredictable management when removing GiCAP group members
If you have removed hosts from a GiCAP group before removing them from an SRD, management
of the SRD becomes unpredictable. You might not be able to modify the SRD or perform a normal
undeploy, in which case you must force an undeploy, delete the SRD, and re-create it.
Workaround Unmanage any group members before removing them from the GiCAP group.
Localization behaviors
Starting with the 4.0 release, gWLM has been localized into several languages. However:
• When managing a gwlmagent version prior to 4.0, some error messages are still displayed
in English
• Events reported to HP SIM are reported in English regardless of the browser locale.
• A change in the browser locale setting is reflected in:
— VSEMgmt software at the start of the next user-interface action
— HP SIM at the next logon
• The properties files for gwlmagent and gwlmcmsd are parsed as English, regardless of the
locale setting. So, be careful of using commas where English would use periods.
• Some items are always in English:
— Start-up messages from gwlmagent and gwlmcmsd
— Log files
— Messages from initial configuration
Unable to manage partitions with inactive cells or deconfigured cores
gWLM does not support management of partitions with either inactive cells or deconfigured
cores. (gWLM might incorrectly try to allocate and assign those unavailable resources.)
Workaround Configure the cores and activate the cells.
Unable to build a single shared resource domain
The following message might be displayed in the HP SIM interface to gWLM:
Unable to build a single shared resource domain from the set of specified hosts: myhostA.mydomain.com
myhostB.mydomain.com
Workaround This message indicates that there are no supported resource-sharing mechanisms
available between the specified hosts. The message can occur if:
• You have specified hosts in different complexes and the complexes are not managed in the
same GiCAP group.
• You have specified hosts in different nPartitions in a complex when there are no iCAP usage
rights to share between the nPartitions.
• The cimserver (or a provider) on one or more hosts is not functioning properly and
consequently complex or partition IDs are not discovered properly.
