HP Global Workload Manager 7.0 User Guide

2. On each managed node, start the gWLM agent if it is not already running:
# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlmagent
Alternatively, you can start the agent through System Insight Manager, as discussed in the HP
Matrix Operating Environment Software Installation and Update Guide.
3. Connect to System Insight Manager by pointing your web browser to:
http://hostname:280
where hostname represents the hostname of the CMS.
4. Select:
Tools→HP Matrix OE visualization...
and then click the Shared Resource Domain tab. From the HP Matrix OE visualization menu
bar, select:
Create→Shared Resource Domain
The wizard guides you through the following steps:
1. Specify the hosts on which to run workloads that you want gWLM to manage as part of one
SRD.
2. Set SRD properties.
Properties include the SRD name, mode, use of Temporary Instant Capacity (if available on
the system), and resource allocation interval.
3. Specify workload and policy settings.
Settings include the workload name and policy.
4. Review and confirm the SRD.
5. Verify the SRD is configured as expected, and click Finish to have gWLM manage the resource
allocation for the workloads in the SRD.
Seeing gWLM in action
This section helps you see gWLM move CPU resources among vPars. You can use similar steps to
see CPU resources move among nPars, virtual machines, psets, or fss groups. For psets and fss
groups, though, you will need to put processes in the desired pset or fss group. (Place processes
by modifying the workload definition or by using the gwlmplace command.) In this example:
• The gWLM agent is used on two vPars, named vpar1 and vpar2.
• These vPars are idle and have a number of unbound cores that gWLM can move among them.
• System Insight Manager and the gWLM CMS software are installed, configured, and running
on a vPar called vPar3.
