2.2.3 The compartment Element

The compartment element manages interaction with HP-UX Compartments configuration. Upon

invocation, the compartment element handler checks the operation option from the cmgr command

and performs one of the following tasks for the compartment identified by the compartment

attribute:

Operation

Description

Add

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for a file containing a definition for the

compartment. If the file is not found, a new /etc/cmpt/compartment.rules is

created and a compartment definition for the compartment is added. The contents of the

concatenated data child elements are then added to the top of the compartment

definition.

NOTE: You must include meta-tags around the configuration data to be added. See

2.2.10

Using meta-tags

for more information on meta-tags.

Delete

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for a file containing a definition for the

compartment. Searches the compartment definition for the first block of data with the

exact matching open and close comment meta tag as specified in the concatenated

child data elements. If a match is found, the comment meta-tags and all data between

are deleted. If the compartment definition is empty, the handler deletes the compartment

definition. If the compartment file is empty, the handler removes it.

replace

Performs the equivalent of a delete followed by an add operation, with the exception

that the new data will be placed in the same location in the compartment definition.

list

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for files containing matching meta tags. If a match

is found, the handler displays the entire meta-tag string. If the –verbose option is

specified, the handler displays the entire content of the meta-tag data.

export

Searches the /etc/cmpt directory for files containing matching meta tags. If a

match is found, the handler adds the entire meta-tag string and all data between the

start and stop tags to the exchange.xml file in the exchange archive. The

exchange.xml file is updated for the XPath

/cmgr/body/compartments/compartment

import

Searches the exchange.xml file from the exchange archive, under the XML XPath

/cmgr/body/compartments/compartment directory, for matching meta tags and

their associated data. If a match is found, the handler adds the meta-tag and the data

to the compartment definition file. If necessary, a new

/etc/cmpt/compartment.rules

file is created.

Status

Displays the state of the compartment. Possible states are STARTED and STOPPED.

Upon successful completion of the add, delete or replace operation, cmgr validates all

compartment configuration with the following command:
