HP PRM Version C.03.00 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2

PRM Release Notes
Known problems and workarounds
Chapter 18
No PSET PRM group data from GlancePlus
Issue
GlancePlus has not been enhanced to recognize processor sets. If you have
defined PRM groups based on processor sets in your PRM configuration,
GlancePlus returns no information for these PRM groups.
Workaround
For configurations with processor sets defined, use the prmmonitor
command instead of GlancePlus.
prm3d consumes excessive resources
Issue
Because of a pthread issue triggered by Java, prm3d can occasionally become
a runaway process, consuming excessive CPU resources.
Workaround
If you notice this condition, a short-term solution is to stop prm3d:
# /opt/prm/bin/prm3d -stop
prm3d is used only by the PRM GUI, xprm. If you do not plan on using xprm,
leave prm3d stopped. If you will be using xprm, restart prm3d:
# /opt/prm/bin/prm3d
The long-term solution to this problem is to patch the pthread library. Also,
Java 1.4.1 itself had an issue with its use of pthreads that has been
addressed in newer versions. (HP-UX with Java 1.4.2.)
Using Java requires certain patches. For the most up-to-date information on
patches needed for Java, visit http://www.hp.com/go/java. Look for patches
that are required for or recommended for Java JRE 1.4.2.
