real memory

Real memory is shared by all processes. The data and instructions of any process (a program in

 

execution) must be available to the core by residing in real memory at the time of execution.

real user ID

An integer, assigned to a user at login, that uniquely identifies the username to HP-UX.

resource manager

Tool that either controls the amount of a resource that a PRM group uses or ensures applications

 

run in their appropriate PRM groups. Resource managers include the application manager (APPL),

 

the CPU manager (CPU), and the memory manager (MEM).
secureSee compartment.

compartment

 

Secure Resource

You form a secure resource partition by mapping a secure compartment to a PRM group. (Create

Partition

secure compartment configurations using the HP-UX feature Security Containment—or a PRM

 

utility such as srpgen or prm2scomp.) These partitions allow you to combine the security and

 

resource allocation features of Security Containment and PRM.

 

Available starting with HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23).
shares

Resource allocations for CPU (for FSS PRM groups) and private memory are specified in shares.

 

A share is a guaranteed minimum when the system is at peak load. PRM allocates a percentage

 

of the system resource to each PRM group based on its number of shares relative to the sum of

 

it and its siblings’ number of shares.
entitlement

The minimum percentage (lower limit) of CPU or memory resources guaranteed to a particular

 

PRM group when the total system use of these resources is at 100%.
sibling group

PRM group that shares a parent group with one or more other PRM groups. Resource shares are

 

distributed recursively to sets of sibling groups in a hierarchy.
system

A person responsible for day-to-day system configuration and maintenance. This person has root

administratoruser capabilities.
system group

The PRM group PRM_SYS with PRMID 0. PRM places all system processes in this group by default.

UIDRefers to both real and effective user IDs.
user default group

The PRM group OTHERS with PRMID 1. PRM uses this group as the initial group for any user who

 

does not have a PRM user record in the PRM configuration file.

user record

Record in a PRM configuration file that specifies a user name, an initial group that the user’s

 

processes should run in, and optionally any alternate groups the user should be able to run

 

processes in.
user

A user is any person using the system. Each user has a unique name and ID, corresponding to

 

their login and real user ID defined in password files (such as /etc/passwd) accessible by the C

 

function getpwnam.
