Controlling gWLM’s Startup Behavior

The gWLM CMS daemon or service (gwlmcmsd) is set to start at boot by vseinitconfig. Generally, you should not change this setting as it disables all VSE Management Software from starting at boot.

On HP-UX, you can control whether the gWLM CMS daemon (gwlmcmsd) and its agent daemons on the managed nodes (gwlmagent) start at boot by:

Manually setting variables in the /etc/rc.config.d/gwlmCtl file. (The /sbin/init.d/gwlmcmsd and /sbin/init.d/gwlmagt scripts use these variables.)
Using the --enable_start_on_boot and --disable_start_on_boot options to gwlmcmsd and gwlmagent.

On Windows, to control whether the gWLM CMS daemon (gwlmcmsd) starts at boot: Right-click the My Computer icon, click Manage, double-click Services & Applications, double-click Services, right-click HP Global Workload Manager Central Management Server, select Properties, and change the Startup type to the desired setting.




	NOTE: HP recommends starting these daemons at boot only when used in a secure operating environment. Setting `GWLM_CMS_START` to 0 (zero) prevents automatic use at boot of HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor.

The gwlmCtl file is shown below:
