Conﬁguring and enabling PRM on the command line

Conﬁguring PRM

Chapter 7144

One way to accomplish this change is to:

Step 1. Update the conﬁguration ﬁle in a text editor as follows:

a. Modify the number of shares for the purchasing and sales groups.

b. Modify the user record for advisor6 to specify an initial group of

purchasing.

Step 2. Load the updated conﬁguration using -k to keep the existing

assignments of users, processes, and groups:

# prmconfig -k

Step 3. Move all currently running processes for advisor6 to the PRM group

purchasing using prmmove:

# prmmove purchasing -u advisor6

Removing a user’s group assignment

To remove a user record manually:

Step 1. Open the conﬁguration ﬁle in a text editor.

Step 2. Remove the line corresponding to the user record you wish to remove.

User records have the following form:

USER::::INITIALGROUP[,ALTERNATEGROUP[, ...]]

Step 3. Save the ﬁle and exit the text editor.

Step 4. Load the conﬁguration using one of the following commands:

To initialize, moving user processes to the owners’ initial groups and

moving applications to their assigned groups, use the command:

# prmconfig -i [-f configfile] {-s | -c}

To keep the existing assignments of users, processes, and groups, use the

command:

# prmconfig -k [-f configfile] {-s | -c}

Use the -f configfile option to specify a ﬁle other than the default

/etc/prmconf. The -s option displays warnings regarding the

conﬁguration ﬁle. (The -c option displays a subset of the -s warnings.)
