NOTE:
To ensure CPU resource allocations behave as expected for OwnBorrow policies, the
sum of the CPU resources owned cannot exceed the number of cores in the SRD. (However, if
the sum is less than the number of cores in the SRD, the excess is distributed to all compartments
in proportion to the amounts owned. Thus, workloads will routinely get more than they are
due.)
Available interfaces
There are two interfaces for controlling and monitoring gWLM:
•
HP Systems Insight Manager
A web-based interface accessed through the Shared Resource Domain tab reached through
the Tools
→Virtualization Manager... menu in HP Systems Insight Manager (access HP
Systems Insight Manager via the URL http://hostname:280 where hostname represents the
name of your Virtual Server Environment Management Software CMS).
To orient yourself with gWLM, refer to the gWLM Home page inside this interface by
selecting Tools
→Virtualization Manager... from the HP SIM menu bar and then the Shared
Resource Domain tab and then from the VSE Management menu bar:
Tools
→Global Workload Manager→Getting Started - gWLM Home…
(The HP SIM menu bar and VSE Management menu bar are discussed in the section
•
gwlm
command
A command-line interface, described in gwlm(1M) .
Other components of the command-line interface are: vseinitconfig(1M), gwlmcmsd(1M),
gwlmagent(1M), gwlmreport(1M), gwlmplace(1M), gwlmsend(1M), gwlmsslconfig(1M),
gwlmstatus(1M), and gwlmxml(4).
Assumptions
It is assumed that you have already installed the following software:
•
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)
•
HP VSE Management Software CMS
•
gWLM agent on your managed nodes
For information about setting up HP SIM, see the documentation available at
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.
The following steps give an overview of the HP SIM installation process. When you install the
VSE Management Software and gWLM, you must do the following:
