You will benefit most from WLM if your environment meets one or more of the following conditions:

  • You run more than one workload concurrently on a server. The workloads may all run under one instance of HP-UX or in separate partitions, each with its own instance of HP-UX. These workloads could be multiple database servers, a database server and an applications server, or any other combination of workloads, provided that they are using HP 9000 servers running HP-UX 11i v1, or HP 9000 servers or HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, or HP-UX 11i v3.

  • You have CPU-intensive workloads that can be prioritized.

  • You have an important workload with end-user performance requirements.

  • You want consistent performance from applications under varying application and system loads.

  • You run Serviceguard and need to ensure proper prioritization of workloads after a failover.

  • You want more control over resource allocation than PRM provides.
