Configuring and enabling PRM on the command line
Configuring PRM
Chapter 7106
Group/CPU records have the following syntax for FSS PRM groups,
hierarchical groups, and PSET PRM groups, respectively:
GROUP:PRMID:SHARES:[MAX]:
GROUP:HIER:SHARES::
GROUP:PSET:::[CORES]:[CORE_LIST][:PSET_ATTR]
where
GROUP Specifies the PRM group name. The PRM group can be
the traditional PRM group (FSS PRM group) or a PSET
PRM group.
The group name must contain at least one alphabetic
character and contain no more than 49 characters. Use
names that are less than eight characters long for
optimal display when using the ps command.
In a hierarchy, an FSS PRM group’s full name is
formed by combining its short name with all of its
ancestors’ group names, using a slash (“/”):
Development/Compilers/Fortran
You cannot use hierarchical grouping for PSET PRM
groups.
Because PRM group names are limited to 49
characters, a hierarchy can have no more than 25
components. Using single-character group names with
each (but the last) followed by a slash character (“/”),
the hierarchy can go to a maximum depth of 25 levels.
PRMID Specifies the FSS PRM group ID (PRMID). This
number must be uniquely assigned and can range from
0 to 63 or from 0 to 255 starting with HP-UX 11i v2
Update 2. (PRMID 0 is reserved. It is also known as the
system group PRM_SYS and is automatically created by
PRM. PRMID 1 is also reserved. It is known as the
OTHERS group and is the default for users without user
records. You must create this group explicitly.) PSET
PRM group PRMIDs are assigned by PRM and are not
specified in the group record.
