Impact
More secure environment if desired
More PRM groups
Remote management must now be manually configured (prm3d must be started on
the remote systems; SSL encryption must be configured)
Compatibility
•The prm3d daemon is no longer started by default.
For security purposes, the prm3d daemon used for remote management is no longer
started by default at boot in the file /etc/rc.config.d/prm.
You can manually set the value of
PRM_RMTCONF
to 1 in the /etc/rc.config.d/prm
file to allow automatic starting of the daemon.
SSL encryption of remote management using xprm is now enabled by default.
The property
prmrmi_ssl
in the file /var/opt/prm/prmrmi.properties is now set
to
true
by default. Each system you attempt to securely connect to must also have
this property set to
true
.
Set this value to
false
to use xprm with PRM versions that do not support the
/var/opt/prm/prmrmi.properties file.
Performance
PRM is designed to set resource allocations (CPU, memory, disk bandwidth) for
applications. Misconfiguration can result in degradation.
