HP UX 11i Workload Management (gWLM/WLM) Software Cell-local processors and iCAP environment

Workaround

Remove the old configuration data from the gWLM database at regular intervals (such as monthly). Use the gwlm history command to trim the database based on date or age.

On HP-UX systems, enter the commands from /opt/gwlm/bin/. On Microsoft Windows systems, enter the commands from the default location at C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\bin\gwlm\.

•gwlm history --truncate=<CCYY/MM/DD>

For example, to remove data that was stored before January 25, 2012, enter: gwlm history --truncate=2012/01/25

•gwlm history –-purge=<days>

For example, to remove all data except for the last thirty days, enter: gwlm history --purge=30

2.Automatically remove the old configuration data from the gWLM database.

To remove data automatically, the following properties must be set in the gwlmcms.properties file :

com.hp.gwlm.cms.db.history.keep

Valid values:

0: Do not remove any historical data (default).

1- 10000 : The number of days for which history will be retained.

Any historical data older than the specified number of days will be removed from the database.

This Property controls the number of days for which the historical data for configuration and monitoring will be retained in the database. Data present beyond the specified number of days is automatically purged from the database on a daily basis.

NOTE: Before setting the value of this property to any value other than zero, ensure that you manually run the following command with specified conditions:

gwlm history --purge

This command must be executed at a time when the database is not heavily loaded. The value of com.hp.gwlm.cms.db.history.keep must be used as the parameter to gwlm history --purgecommand.

This ensures that the first run of the automatic purge does not affect database operations, even if data needs to be removed for a long period of time. Since the automatic purge is performed on a daily basis, purges after the initial one removes only a single day’s data. This reduces the load on the database.

Cell-local processors and iCAP environment

Using cell-local processors with virtual partitions inside an nPartition that uses (iCAP) leads to failure of the icod_modify command.

Workaround

Do not assign CPUs using cell specifications. Consider assigning CPUs to the virtual partitions using a hardware path.

Alternatively, to use cell-local processors, update to vPars A.04.04 on HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) or to vPars A.05.01 on HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31).

CMS is slow to respond

The CMS is slow to respond.

Workaround

Time a gwlm list command on the CMS. If it takes more than 10 seconds, perform the following steps:

1.In the file /etc/opt/gwlm/conf/gwlmcms.properties (HP-UX) or install-path\VirtualServerEnvironment\conf\gwlmcms.properties
