HP Global Workload Manager 7.0 User Guide

Changing which policy is associated with a workload

To change the policy affecting how gWLM allocates resources to a workload:

NOTE: In System Insight Manager, you must be logged in as root or have authorizations for

“All Tools” or “Matrix OE All tools.”

1. Ensure in System Insight Manager, the gWLM CMS daemon or service (gwlmcmsd) and all

the gWLM agents (gwlmagent) are still running, as explained in the section “Setting up

gWLM (initial setup steps)” (page 18).

2. Connect to System Insight Manager by pointing your web browser to:

http://hostname:280

where hostname represents the hostname of the CMS.

3. From the System Insight Manager menu bar, select:

Tools→HP Matrix OE visualization...

and then click the Shared Resource Domain tab.

4. Select the shared resource domain containing the workload for which you want to change

the policy.

5. Select the workload for which you want to change the policy.

6. From the HP Matrix OE visualization menu bar, select:

Policy→Change Associated gWLM Policy...

7. From the Policy dropdown in the table row for the workload, select the new policy to associate,

or apply, to the workload.

8. Click OK.

Adding a new compartment or GiCAP group member to an SRD

If you:

• Have added an npar, a vpar, or a virtual machine to your system and want to add it to an

SRD,

• Have added a Global Instant Capacity (GiCAP) group member and want to add it to an SRD,

• Want to create psets or fss groups in a host already in an SRD

You can use the gWLM wizard to accomplish those tasks. To start the wizard, select from the

System Insight Manager menu bar:

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

Step 1 in the wizard allows you to add nPars, vPars, and GiCAP group members. Step 3 allows

you to create psets or fss groups, as well as manage existing virtual machines.

NOTE: When you are managing nodes in a GiCAP group, if all partitions of a GiCAP group

are not added to an SRD, a warning message is logged. To view the warning message in the GUI,

on the CMS click Optimize→Global Workload Manager (gWLM)→Events and select the check box

for Warning Message Logged. You can select the required severity level.
