-e [manager] Enables PRM. This option followed by one of the

manager keywords below enables only the

corresponding manager:

• CPU

• DISK

• MEM

• APPL

When specifying multiple manager arguments, precede

each argument with -e. Specifying -e without a

keyword enables all managers.

This does not change the current conﬁguration. If there

are no memory records, the memory manager is not

started. However, if there are no application records,

the application manager is still started. Also, the disk

bandwidth manager starts—if it is explicitly enabled

using -e DISK—when there are no disk records; this

allows you to perform monitoring.

-r Resets PRM to its boot-time state. PRM is disabled and

unconﬁgured for managing CPU, memory, and disk

bandwidth resources and for managing applications.

-u Unlocks a PRM conﬁguration ﬁle lock.

This lock is put in place to prevent multiple parties

from changing the PRM conﬁguration simultaneously.

Various HP-UX management products can all lock the

conﬁguration ﬁle. If one of these products is updating

the conﬁguration or terminates without releasing the

lock, you will receive the following message:

Configuration lock already held by %s.

Use the -u option to force the lock to be released.
