HP-UX Workload Manager User's Guide

Configuring WLM
Defining the PRM components (optional)
Chapter 5166
Place Unix groups in workload groups by defining the uxgrp keyword in
the prm structure. The uxgrp keyword can appear, at most, once in a
configuration.
To assign Unix groups to workload groups, use the following syntax:
uxgrp = uxgrp_name : group [, ... ];
where
uxgrp_name
Is the name of a Unix group.
group
Is the name of the workload group in which the Unix
group should be placed. A Unix group can be assigned
to one workload group only.
NOTE A process may start in a workload group other than its assigned group
due to its inheriting the group of the process that started it. However,
WLM will eventually move the process to the workload group specified in
its Unix group record.
When determining the workload group assignment for a process
identified by multiple records, WLM gives highest precedence to
assignments defined in process maps (or to assignments made using the
prmmove or prmrun commands). The precedence given to the various
records that define workload group placement is described in “How the
application manager affects workload group assignments” on page 459.
Assigning applications to workload groups (optional)
Each workload group defines a workload. You can optionally assign one
or more applications to a workload group using the apps keyword.
However, because you can place applications in workload groups using
prmrun and prmmove, you are not required to assign applications to
workload groups with the apps keyword.
