The following sections present examples showing how to configure authorizations based on the
user’s role.
Role: PRM administrator
With the authorizations from the table below, you can examine the configuration of all managed
systems through Virtualization Manager. You can monitor and configure the amount of CPU and
memory resources used by PRM groups on the CMS and managed systems.

Role: PRM operator
With the authorizations from the table below, you can examine the configuration of all managed
systems through Virtualization Manager. You can monitor the amount of CPU and memory resources
used by PRM groups on the CMS and managed systems. You cannot make any configuration
changes to the PRM groups.

Quick start to using PRM’s SIM interface
The following steps outline how to use PRM’s SIM interface. For more information on configuring
PRM using the SIM interface, see the PRM online help.
1. Determine which configuration model you are going to use.
For information on planning your configuration, see “PRM configuration planning ” (page
37).
2. Log in to HP Systems Insight Manager by pointing your web browser to:
http://SIM_host:280
where SIM_host has SIM and the bundle PRMSIMTools C.03.03.01 or later installed.
SIM documentation is available on http://docs.hp.com by selecting the Network and Systems
Management link.
3. Navigate to the PRM interface by following the links:
Optimize -> Process Resource Manager -> Configure PRM Groups
NOTE: If the above links are not present, run the command
/opt/prm/bin/prminitconfig -a (or preferably /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig
-a if HP Virtual Server Environment Management Software A.03.00.00 or later is installed)
and log in to SIM again as indicated in Step 2. (Be aware that running vseinitconfig
-a will restart SIM.)
4. Create your configuration file.
For help in determining the resource allocations in your initial configuration, see “Using
prmanalyze to quickly identify resource use” on (page 42) .
