processors, applications, and users to those groups. Once processors are
assigned to a PSET workload group, they cannot be used by another
group until a new configuration is loaded.
Applications and users that are assigned to a PSET group have
dedicated CPU resources from the CPU resources assigned to the group.
Competition for CPU resources within the processor set are handled
using the HP-UX time-share scheduler.
Assigning users and user access to workload groups
(optional)
If the server where WLM runs is going to host users, you can specify the
workload groups in which the users’ processes (including their shells)
run. You can also specify any other workload groups the users should be
able to access.
Assign users to workload groups by defining the users keyword in the
prm structure. The users keyword can appear, at most, once in a
configuration.
WLM supports the use of netgroups (network-wide groups) to identify
users. For more information on netgroups, see netgroup(4).
To specify the workload groups to which a user or netgroup member
should be assigned, use the following syntax:
users = user : init_group [alt_group1 alt_group2 ...] [, ...];
where
user Is either an individual user’s login name or a string
that begins with the plus character (+) followed by a
netgroup name, such as +netgroupname. (Netgroups
are defined in the file /etc/netgroup.)
If a netgroup is specified, then at configuration time,
any member of that netgroup who is not listed
individually assumes the init_group and
alt_groupXs that the netgroup is assigned.
WLM ignores any line in /etc/netgroup that has an
empty user field.
