HP PRM Version C.03.05 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3

Installation procedure for B3835DA
Install the full PRM product, B3835DA, on systems where you want PRM to control resource
allocations.
To install the software:
NOTE: If the PRM-Sw-Krn.PRM-KRN fileset is not installed or it is installed but its revision is
older than the current revision (C.01.04), the current revision will be installed, causing a reboot.
1. Shut down any versions of PRM, WLM, and GlancePlus that are already installed.
Having these products running can prevent the proper update of files that are in use. Be
sure to shut down WLM (wlmd -k), its configuration wizard, wlmgui, PRM (prmconfig
-r), xprm, and GlancePlus—if any of them are running.
2. Evaluate whether to upgrade any WLM version that is installed, as explained in “Upgrading
or installing PRM before upgrading WLM from C.03.00 or earlier can cause WLM to fail
swverify checks” (page 21).
3. Shut down MeasureWare if it is running:
# /sbin/init.d/mwa stop
4. Shut down HP Integrity Virtual Machines if it is running:
# /sbin/init.d/hpvm stop
PRM cannot run on a host used as a VM Host. However, you can use PRM inside virtual
machines.
5. Start the SD-UX swinstall command. It will invoke a user interface to lead you through
the installation.
6. Load product B3835DA and install patches from the section “Required patches” (page 13).
7. Ensure the NodeHostNameXpnd bundle is installed if you want to use long hostnames on
HP-UX 11i v2. Configure long hostnames as described below.
Set the kernel tunable to allow long hostnames:
# kctune expanded_node_host_names=1
Set the node and hostname, with the changes being persistent across boots:
# /sbin/set_parms hostname
where hostname is the literal string hostname—not the desired hostname. You will be
prompted for the hostname.
For configuration information, read the paper “Node and Host Name Sizes on HP-UX,”
available in /usr/share/doc/NodeHostNameSize.pdf on systems with the
NodeHostNameXpnd bundle installed.
8. Configure PRM GUI and restart HP System Management Homepage (SMH).
NOTE: This step assumes SMH is already installed. If not, install SMH before completing
this step. (As of May 2005, SMH is available from the Applications DVD and the Operating
Environment DVD. It is also available at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.)
If you are going to use PRM’s interface available through SMH, perform the following steps:
a. Configure the PRM interface by running:
# /opt/prm/bin/prmsmhconfig -c
b. Restart SMH.
You can now access the PRM interface in SMH through the following links:
