6 Using PRM with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)

This chapter discusses how you can use PRM with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), which provides a single point of administration for multiple HP-UX systems. The PRM integration with HP SIM allows system administrators at a SIM Central Management Server (CMS) to perform the following PRM tasks on the nodes in the SIM cluster that have PRM installed:

•Monitor PRM Groups

•Configure PRM Groups

•Display Resource Usage

•List Resource Availability

The following sections describe the PRM tasks available through SIM.

For this task to display meaningful results, a valid configuration file must be loaded on the target systems.

List Resource Availability

This tool does not require a valid configuration on the target systems in order to produce meaningful results.

You must be authorized in HP SIM to run the PRM tools. To configure user authorizations, you must be logged into HP SIM as a user with Full Configuration Rights. Refer to mxuser(1M) for information about viewing and setting configuration rights. Choose Options->Security->Users and Authorizations from the HP SIM menu bar. Use the tabs to view and change the toolbox authorizations for each user. For detailed information about creating and updating authorizations, refer to the HP SIM online help. The following list defines the authorization provided by each of the toolboxes associated with PRM:

	configure the PRM groups on those systems. Authorize on the CMS only if
	the CMS will also be a managed system.
