Getting started with HP-UX Workload Manager

Providing a fixed amount of CPU resources

WLM enables you to give a workload group a fixed amount of CPU resources (cores), reserving that

amount for your workload group.

To set up a fixed CPU allocation using the configuration wizard:

NOTE

Usage of the WLM wizard requires Java™ Runtime Environment

version 1.4.2 or later. (Starting with WLM A.03.04, Java 1.5 or later

is required.) For PRM-based configurations, PRM C.03.00 or later is

required (to take advantage of the latest updates to WLM, use the latest

version of PRM available).

1. Log in as root.

2. Be sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set, and then start the wizard:

# /opt/wlm/bin/wlmcw

3. Enter the maximum amount of CPU resources (cores) the system will have. The wizard estimates the

maximum value. Confirm or edit the estimate. The value you enter should account for changes in

the CPU/core count caused by Instant Capacity and other such adjustments.
