Conﬁguring and enabling PRM on the command line

Conﬁguring PRM

Chapter 7 133

However, due to the importance of this application as a sales tool, the

PRM administrator decides to assign it to the crit_apps group where it

is assured sufﬁcient resources.

The procedure to re-assign the application is outlined below.

Step 1. Open the desired conﬁguration ﬁle in a text editor.

Step 2. Add an application record for CustomerTrack with crit_apps as the

assigned group.

Step 3. Conﬁgure PRM using -k to keep the existing assignments of users,

processes, and groups:

# prmconfig -k

Step 4. Wait for the application manager to automatically move the processes.

This will take no longer than 30 seconds, the default length of the

application manager polling interval. Alternatively, move the processes

yourself as discussed below.

a. Find the process ID for CustomerTrack using the ps command:

# ps -efP | grep CustomerTrack

UID PRMID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME COMMAND

root PRM_SYS 4435 4220 6 15:16:21 ttyp2 0:00 grep CustomerTrack

advisor4 sales 4418 4220 4 15:11:18 ttyp2 0:00 CustomerTrack

b. Move the CustomerTrack process and all its child processes by

process group PID to the PRM group crit_apps using prmmove:

# prmmove crit_apps -g 4418

Step 5. Verify that CustomerTrack is running in the crit_apps group by using

the ps command:

# ps -PR crit_apps

PRMID PID TTY TIME COMMAND

crit_apps 4418 ttyp2 0:00 CustomerTrack

crit_apps 4485 ttyp2 0:00 CustomerOrder

crit_apps 4492 ttyp2 0:00 Issue
