Step 7. Confirm that the processes are running in the appropriate PRM groups:
# ps -efP
Configuring PRM
Configuring PRM is independent of enabling PRM. You can configure
PRM without enabling it. In such a state, PRM stamps processes with
PRM group identifiers so that their resource usage can be controlled
when you enable the PRM CPU, memory, disk, or application manager.
For information on how to enable PRM, see “Enabling resource
managers” on page 156.
The following sections explain PRM’s configuration file and how to
configure PRM.
The PRM configuration file
The PRM configuration file defines PRM groups and their resource
shares. It also specifies which PRM groups each user can access and
which applications are assigned to PRM groups. The default
configuration file is /etc/prmconf; however, you can create and use
alternate configuration files, which are usually kept in the directory
/etc/opt/prm/conf/, with the owner set to hpsmh.
The PRM configuration file contains the following record types:
• Group/CPU
• Memory
• Disk bandwidth
• Application
• User
• Compartment
• Unix group
