How does HP-UX WLM guarantee response time?
It doesn’t. HP-UX WLM doesn’t remove the need for capacity planning or application and system maintenance. HP-UX WLM is used to allocate the existing system CPU resources in response to application performance or other system metrics or events. If giving an underperforming application access to additional CPU resources doesn’t help, an alarm (EMS event) can be generated to notify the administrator that the SLO is not being met.
