Step 5. Activate the configuration:

# wlmd -a configfile

Step 6. Start the high-priority job in the express_lane workload group:

# prmrun -g express_lane critical_job

where critical_job is a command for launching the job.

You can also move an existing high-priority job to the express_lane

workload group. To accomplish this, use the prmmove command:

# prmmove express_lane -p PID

where PID is the process ID of critical_job.

For more information on these commands, see prmrun(1) and

prmmove(1).
