Quick start to using PRM’s SIM interface

The following steps outline how to use PRM’s SIM interface. For more information on configuring PRM using the SIM interface, see the PRM online help.

1.Determine which configuration model you are going to use.

For information on planning your configuration, see “PRM configuration planning ” (page 37).

2.Log in to HP Systems Insight Manager by pointing your web browser to: http://SIM_host:280

where SIM_host has SIM and the bundle PRMSIMTools C.03.03.01 or later installed.

SIM documentation is available on http://docs.hp.com by selecting the Network and Systems Management link.

3.Navigate to the PRM interface by following the links:

Optimize -> Process Resource Manager -> Configure PRM Groups

NOTE: If the above links are not present, run the command

/opt/prm/bin/prminitconfig -a (or preferably /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig -a if HP Virtual Server Environment Management Software A.03.00.00 or later is installed) and log in to SIM again as indicated in Step 2. (Be aware that running vseinitconfig -a will restart SIM.)

4.Create your configuration file.

For help in determining the resource allocations in your initial configuration, see “Using prmanalyze to quickly identify resource use” on (page 42) .
