PRM Release Notes
Known problems and workarounds
Chapter 110
Unable to get CPU entitlement due to number of processes
Issue
PRM provides a PRM group its entitlement on an SMP system by granting
the group its entitlement on each CPU. If the group does not have at least
one process for each CPU, PRM increases the entitlements for the processes
to compensate. For example, for a PRM group with a single-threaded
process, a 10% entitlement of four CPUs results in a 40% entitlement on one
CPU.
Assume this same PRM group were allocated 50% of the four CPUs. PRM
would give the group an entitlement of 100% on two CPUs. However,
because the group has only the one thread, it can use only one CPU,
resulting in a 25% entitlement.
Workaround
There is no workaround. However, be aware of how your applications run so
that you do not give them resource entitlements they cannot use.
Secure Resource Partitions:
Blocked port on a virtual network interface
Issue
Using the optional HP product Security Containment, you can set up a
virtual network interface for each secure compartment. A process in one
secure compartment can bind to a socket on a virtual network interface
associated with a different secure compartment. Although this process will
not be able to accept connections or use the socket to send or receive data, it
does prevent other processes from binding to that socket.
Workaround
Be sure your applications that access the network bind only to sockets on
the virtual network interface created for their respective secure
compartments.

HP-UX 11i Security Containment Administrator’s Guide.
