uses login names to assign users to specific PRM groups, PRM is not able to distinguish between
users attaching to the system using socket connections.
Online cell operations
If you want to perform online cell operations, and:
• Your PRM configuration contains memory records
Stop memory management (prmconfig -d MEM), then after the online cell operation has
completed, restart memory management (prmconfig -e MEM).
• Your PRM configuration uses PSETs
Reset PRM (prmconfig -r), then after the online cell operation has completed, restart PRM
management (prmconfig -ie [-f file]).
For more information on online cell operations, see parolrad(1M).
Backing up PRM files
If you would like to make a backup of your PRM environment, be sure to back up the following
files:
• /etc/prmconf
The default PRM configuration file
• /etc/opt/prm/conf/*
The suggested location for additional PRM configurations. Files in this directory should have
the owner set to hpsmh.
• /opt/prm/conf/*
A location previously suggested for additional PRM configurations
• /etc/rc.config.d/prm
Configuration file used by /sbin/init.d/prm
• /etc/shells and /opt/prm/shells
Files used by PRM to ensure PRM’s application manager can differentiate shell scripts from
one another; these files can also help the application manager differentiate Java binaries
• /etc/cmpt/*.rules
File containing compartment rules configured for the system (This file is actually an HP-UX 11i
Security Containment file. If you have created Secure Resource Partitions, you will have a
*.rules file on your system, although not necessarily in /etc/cmpt/. The Security Containment
feature is available starting with HP-UX 11i v2.)
