Disabling PRM
Disabling PRM does not change the PRM configuration—it only returns
control to standard HP-UX resource management. In other words,
processes are still assigned a PRMID, but only the standard HP-UX
resource management determines what resources processes receive.
Having PRM configured but disabled allows you to track resource use by
PRM group through prmanalyze, GlancePlus, or acctcom without
having PRM actually control the use of these resources.
Disabling PRM differs from resetting PRM in that:
• PRM daemons remain running
• Processes are tagged with the PRMIDs of their associated groups
To disable PRM on the command line and return to standard HP-UX
resource management, see the following section. You can also disable
PRM in the PRM interface in HP System Management Homepage or in
HP Systems Insight Manager.
Disabling PRM with prmconfig
Disable PRM manually by entering the following command:
# prmconfig -d
Each resource manager can be disabled independently using the -d
option followed by APPL, CPU, DISK, or MEM.
