What’s new in this version
PRM Version C.03.03.01 includes the following new features or changes:
• HP Systems Insight Manager interface
A new graphical interface to PRM is available through HP Systems Insight Manager
(SIM). SIM is available from the Applications DVD and the Operating Environment DVD.
It is also available from http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot. With SIM and the bundle
PRMSIMTools C.03.03 or later installed, you can access the new PRM interface in SIM
through the links Optimize
-> Process Resource Manager -> Configure PRM Groups. For
more information on using the new interface, see the PRM online help.
Along with this interface, there is now a utility called prminitconfig. This utility
configures/unconfigures the PRM interface in SIM. Run it after SIM is installed, as
described in the section “Installation procedure for PRMSIMTools” on page 10.
• Change in capping terminology
The CAP field in group records and memory records is now referred to as the MAX field. The
change is intended to reduce confusion between the configuration-wide CPU capping
enabled through prmconfig -M CPUCAPON and the per-group CPU upper bounds formerly
set using the CAP field. (Memory records were updated to be consistent with group
records.)
• Increase in allowed length of application name
PRM’s interface in System Management Homepage allowed the name of an application to
be 40 characters. The allowed length is now 256 characters.
• xprm interface has been removed
With the implementation of the new graphical interface mentioned above as well as the
interface in HP System Management Homepage, the xprm interface has been removed.
