3 PRM configuration planning
This chapter focuses on determining your PRM configuration needs.
It explains:
• Using multiple configurations
• Selecting a configuration model
• Identifying resource use
• Using prmanalyze to quickly identify resource use
Using multiple configurations
Because PRM is configured using files, you can maintain numerous
configurations using multiple configuration files. These files are
normally stored in the directory /etc/opt/prm/conf/, with the owner set to
hpsmh. You can then change your configuration at a particular time of
day, on a certain day of the week, or on any other schedule you can
specify using the cron command.
As you read about the configuration models discussed in this chapter,
remember that you can change between the models by using multiple
configuration files.
Specify a configuration file other than the default /etc/prmconf with
the -f configfile option to prmconfig or by selecting the alternate file
in the PRM interface in HP System Management Homepage or in HP
Systems Insight Manager. For more information, see the section
“prmconfig” on page 210 or the online help.
