Installing HP-UX Workload Manager ensures that the following software is also installed:

If the system already has the correct version installed, it will not be modified.

If you plan to use configuration files based on Process Resource Manager (PRM), ensure that version C.03.00 or later of PRM is installed. To take advantage of the latest updates to WLM, use the latest version of PRM (C.03.02 or later). PRM is necessary for managing processor sets (PSETs) or Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) groups, which are confined within a specific instance of HP-UX. If you plan to use WLM to manage host-based configurations only, PRM is not necessary. Host-based configurations are designed for moving CPU resources (cores, which are the actual data-processing engines within a processor; a processor might have multiple cores, and a core might have multiple execution threads) across virtual partitions and nPartitions; the configurations are not confined within a specific instance of HP-UX as are PRM-based configurations. For more information, see Chapter 7 “Managing SLOs across partitions”.

HP-UX WLM provides a method for collecting system and application data from GlancePlus. You can use WLM with any HP-UX 11i version of GlancePlus. On HP-UX 11i v1, be sure to install either the 11i Enterprise Operating Environment or 11i Mission-critical Operating Environment to ensure you have a GlancePlus version that is fully compatible with WLM.
