group. The system group, PRM_SYS (PRMID 0), is automatically created by PRM, and system
processes run there by default.
Change your configuration file then load the new configuration, as indicated in the following steps:
1. Change the configuration using prmloadconf or as explained in “Configuring PRM” (page
52).
2. 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 [-fconfigfile] {-s | -c}
To keep the existing assignments of users, processes, and groups, use the command:
#prmconfig -k [-fconfigfile] {-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.)
3. Enable resource managers if they are not already enabled:
#prmconfig -e
