Prminitconfig -a -r -h, Mmode | HP Process Resource Manager (PRM)

Table 20 prmconfig root user options (continued)

Option	Description
-Lmanager[logarg]	Logs PRM messages. Valid manager names are:
	MEM Logs memory manager messages.
	APPL Logs application manager messages.
	Messages are written to the file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.
	The logarg keyword STOP stops logging for the specified resource.
-Mmode	Specify a PRM operation mode. To specify multiple modes with the same
	command, repeat -Mmode.
	mode is required and can be:
	CPUCAPON	Enables PRM CPU resource capping for all FSS PRM
		groups in the configuration. CPU usage for each FSS
		PRM group is capped at the group’s shares value.
	CPUCAPOFF	(Default) Disables PRM CPU resource capping based on
		each group’s shares value. (Per-group capping is still
		enforced.)
		For information on per-group CPU capping, see the
		section “Group/CPU record syntax” (page 55).
	REALUIDON	Places processes in PRM groups based on real user IDs.
		You can set this mode only in the reset state. Use
		prmconfig -r to reset.
	REALUIDOFF	(Default) Places processes in PRM groups based on
		effective user IDs.

prminitconfig

Syntax:

prminitconfig [{ -a -r}] [-h]

The prminitconfig command configures or unconfigures the PRM GUI to be available in HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM).

Table 21 describes the available options. Specifying no option is the same as specifying the -hoption
