A Command reference
This chapter provides an overview of the PRM commands. The PRM commands are:
• prmagt
• prmanalyze
• prmavail
• prmconfig
• prminitconfig
• prmlist
• prmloadconf
• prmmonitor
• prmmove
• prmrecover
• prmrun
• prmsmhconfig
• prm2scomp
• scomp2prm
• srpgen
prmagt
Syntax:
prmagt -V
prmagt [-plock | -stop | -intervalseconds]
Availability: Only a root user can run the prmagt command.
The prmagt utility is the PRM SNMP read-only agent. It enables SNMP-aware products to collect
PRM configuration and usage statistics. Information is updated once per minute or whenever a
major configuration change occurs.
NOTE: Secure sites may want to disable prmagt to avoid unwanted information exchange. If
prmagt is to be used, it is strongly recommended that it be used only on a trusted internal network
protected by firewalls and access controls, due to known issues with the SNMP protocol.
For a listing of the types of information available and an overview of how to access this information,
see “Monitoring PRM through SNMP” (page 117).
Table 17 describes the available options.
Table 17 prmagt user options/parameters.
DescriptionOption
Starts a new prmagt daemon if one is not already running.No options
Displays version information and exits.-V
Locks the agent into real memory. Use this option only on HP-UX versions prior
to 11i.
This option is useful when remotely collecting prmagt data for real-time
indications of system paging.
If memory is not locked down, the paging activities will cause significant delays
and the monitoring tool will only get time-out messages.
