wlmcw(1M)wlmcw(1M)NAMEwlmcw - launch the HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) configuration wizard
SYNOPSIS
[ -s { small | medium | large } ]
DESCRIPTION
The WLM configuration wizard, invoked by the command
/opt/wlm/bin/wlmcw, simplifies the creation of your initial WLM config‐
uration. The wizard is only for creating new configurations. It cannot
edit existing configurations. Also, it provides only a subset of the
WLM functionality in order to simplify the initial configuration
process. After you create a configuration, you can view it to gain a
better understanding of how to create more complex configurations manu‐
ally.
Be sure to set your environment variable before starting the wizard.
After creating your configuration file, called configfile for example,
activate it in passive mode as follows (if desired):
configfile
With passive mode, you can see how WLM will approximately respond to a
particular configuration--without WLM actually taking control of your
system's resources. To see how WLM will respond to a configuration, use
the WLM utility For more information on passive mode, see the wlm(5)
manpage.
Activate the configuration as follows:
configfile
OPTIONS
Changes the font point size used by
to size. Acceptable values for size are:
Default system font point size.
Default system font point size plus 4.
Default system font point size plus 6.
If is not specified, the wizard uses the default system font point size
plus 2.
NOTES
Font size in the online help
The size of the font used for the content of the online help is not
affected by the option.
Performance
If the performance of is excessively slow (due to network issues or
connection method), try using:
· Keyboard shortcuts (TAB to change the item selected; SPACE BAR
to select an option or button).
· A text editor to create your WLM configuration. For example
configuration files, see /opt/wlm/examples/wlmconf/.
Prompt for Number of CPU resources (Cores)
At start-up, the wizard prompts you for the maximum number of CPU
resources the system or partition can have.
WLM needs this information because a few values you can set in the wiz‐
ard depend on the number of cores on the system. (A core is the actual
data-processing engine within a processor, where a processor might have
multiple cores.) WLM sets the default upper bound for these values
based on the number of cores currently active.
This number may be an underestimate if Instant Capacity cores (formerly
known as iCOD CPUs) are later enabled or cores are added to a parti‐
tion. For this reason, the wizard allows you to confirm or edit its
estimate.
DEPENDENCIES
You must set your environment variable before starting
requires Java(tm) Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later in
/opt/java1.5/jre/bin/java. For PRM-based configurations, PRM C.03.00 or
later must be installed on your system. (To take advantage of the lat‐
est updates to WLM, use the latest version of PRM available.)
