Engine marks the database as RESOURCE PENDING. In either case, user action is required to recover from the issue.

Workaround

HP recommends a regular database backup which will help to recover easily from such a scenario.

Choose from the following options that best suits the situation after consulting the database vendor's guidelines.

•Back up the log.

•Free disk space so that the log can automatically grow.

•Move the log file to a disk drive with sufficient space.

•Increase the Maximum Size of the log file.

•Add a new log file to the database on a different disk that has sufficient space.

•Complete or kill a long running transaction.

Documentation or minor issues

The following are minor issues for Global Workload Manager.

SRDs defined when system was non-iCAP are unable to use TiCAP later

When an SRD (Shared Resource Domain) is defined on a non-iCAP system, and the system is later modified to be an iCAP system and TiCAP can be used manually, the SRD does not make use of TiCAP even if the policy used has it enabled.

Suggested Action

Perform the following steps:

•If the SRD is deployed when the change from non-iCAP to iCAP occurred, click Modify SRD. You can see TiCAP option in the Manage systems and workloads systems and workloads tab.

•Click OK.

Warning message displayed on non-partitionable machines

On non-partitionable machines, when the gWLM agent is started, stopped, or restarted, the following warning message may be displayed:

Warning: gwlmagent cimserver error, icapd down, or icap out of compliance. First restart cimserver. Make sure icapd is running. If this error happens again, consult gwlmagent man page for steps to return to compliance.

Workaround

There is no workaround. You can ignore this message since this message is not valid on non-partitionable machines where iCAP is not supported.

Remove old configuration data from the gWLM database

You can remove the old configuration data from the gWLM database using one of the following ways:

1.Manually remove the old configuration data from the gWLM database.

Changes to workloads are stored in the gWLM database as configuration changes. The gWLM database grows over time when workloads are modified.

NOTE: If workloads are managed by gWLM, historical monitoring data is stored in the database, and using the commands listed under the workaround, you can delete this data as well.

UX 11i Workload Management (gWLM/WLM) Software specifications

HP-UX 11i Workload Management (gWLM/WLM) software is an integral component of HP's premier UNIX operating system, designed to enhance system performance and resource management across diverse workloads. This advanced tool allows system administrators to monitor, control, and allocate resources effectively to achieve optimal performance, reliability, and service levels in enterprise environments.

One of the main features of gWLM/WLM is its ability to classify workloads and manage them according to specific policies set by the administrator. By using service level objectives (SLOs), administrators can define the performance criteria for various applications and workloads. gWLM continuously tracks these workloads, ensuring that they adhere to the defined SLOs, thus maintaining a high level of application performance.

The software employs resource pools, which segment resources such as CPU, memory, and I/O bandwidth among different workloads based on predefined priorities. This capability ensures that critical applications receive the resources they require, even during peak usage periods, thereby preventing resource starvation that could lead to system slowdowns or crashes.

Another significant characteristic of gWLM/WLM is its real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities. The software provides detailed insights into resource utilization, workload performance, and system health. Administrators can access this information through a user-friendly interface, allowing for informed decision-making and proactive management.

Integration with HP Serviceguard adds another layer of functionality, enabling high availability for critical applications. gWLM can orchestrate workload migration to ensure that service levels are maintained, even in the event of hardware failures or resource contention.

The technology behind gWLM/WLM is built on advanced algorithms that leverage historical data and predictive modeling to optimize resource allocation dynamically. This means that as workloads change, the system can automatically adjust resource distribution to meet performance targets without the need for constant manual intervention.

gWLM also supports integration with various enterprise management tools, enabling administrators to implement comprehensive monitoring and management strategies across the IT infrastructure. The scalability of gWLM allows organizations of all sizes to benefit from its robust workload management features, ensuring that they can adapt to changing demands in their operational environments.

In summary, HP-UX 11i Workload Management software offers a sophisticated solution for optimizing resource utilization, managing workloads effectively, and maintaining high performance in complex enterprise environments. Its comprehensive features and technologies make it an essential tool for any organization seeking to enhance their IT operations.
