Table 20 prmconfig root user options (continued)
DescriptionOption
Logs PRM messages. Valid manager names are:
MEM Logs memory manager messages.
APPL Logs application manager messages.
Messages are written to the file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.
The logarg keyword STOP stops logging for the specified resource.
-Lmanager[logarg]
Specify a PRM operation mode. To specify multiple modes with the same
command, repeat -M mode.
mode is required and can be:
CPUCAPON Enables PRM CPU resource capping for all FSS PRM
groups in the configuration. CPU usage for each FSS
PRM group is capped at the group’s shares value.
CPUCAPOFF (Default) Disables PRM CPU resource capping based on
each group’s shares value. (Per-group capping is still
enforced.)
For information on per-group CPU capping, see the
section “Group/CPU record syntax” (page 55).
REALUIDON Places processes in PRM groups based on real user IDs.
You can set this mode only in the reset state. Use
prmconfig -r to reset.
REALUIDOFF (Default) Places processes in PRM groups based on
effective user IDs.
-Mmode
prminitconfig
Syntax:
prminitconfig [{ -a | -r}] [-h]
The prminitconfig command configures or unconfigures the PRM GUI to be available in HP
Systems Insight Manager (SIM).
Table 21 describes the available options. Specifying no option is the same as specifying the -h
option
