Table 20 prmconfig root user options (continued)
DescriptionOption
Disables PRM. This option followed by the manager keyword CPU, DISK,
MEM, or APPL disables only the specified manager. When specifying
multiple manager arguments, precede each argument with -d.
Specifying -d without a keyword disables all managers.
This command disables PRM so that only the standard HP-UX resource
management is in effect.
-d [manager]
Enables PRM. This option followed by one of the manager keywords
below enables only the corresponding manager:
• CPU
• MEM
• APPL
When specifying multiple manager arguments, precede each argument
with -e. Specifying -e without a keyword enables all managers.
This does not change the current configuration. If there are no memory
records, the memory manager is not started. However, if there are no
application records, the application manager is still started.
-e [manager]
Resets PRM to its boot-time state. PRM is disabled and unconfigured for
managing CPU and memory resources and for managing applications.
-r
Unlocks a PRM configuration file lock.
This lock is put in place to prevent multiple parties from changing the PRM
configuration simultaneously. Various HP-UX management products can
all lock the configuration file. If one of these products is updating the
configuration or terminates without releasing the lock, you will receive the
following message:
Configuration lock already held by %s.
Use the -u option to force the lock to be released.
-u
Includes parent hierarchical groups in output. )-h
Prints the PRM group names in wide-column format, exceeding the
30-column default if necessary to avoid clipping any names.
-w
Includes the number of cores and their core IDs for PSET PRM groups in
the output.
-p
Displays whether memory isolation is being used.-m
Overrides the default polling interval for the specified PRM manager.
interval is expressed in seconds.
Valid manager names are:
MEM Memory manager. The default interval is 10 seconds for MEM.
APPL Application manager. The default interval is 30 seconds for APPL.
