HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) manual Removing a user’s group assignment

Use the -fconfigfile option to specify a file other than the default /etc/prmconf. The -soption displays warnings regarding the configuration file. (The -coption displays a subset of the -swarnings.)

NOTE: If you change a user’s initial group, using prmconfig -iresets the user’s processes. With prmconfig -k, all of the user’s currently running processes continue to execute in their current group until a prmmove is done or until the user logs in again. Any other processes continue to run in their current group unless moved with prmmove. For more information on these options, see Table 14 (page 80).

5.Enable PRM’s application manager if it is not already enabled:

#prmconfig -e APPL

Alternatively, enable all PRM resource managers using prmconfig -ewithout any additional arguments:

#prmconfig -e

Example: Changing the initial group of a user

Consider this scenario in which a user’s initial group is changed. One of the sales advisors, advisor6, has decided to change jobs and move to the purchasing department. The user’s login does not change. However, in the PRM configuration file, advisor6 needs to be added to the purchasing group and removed from the sales group. Also, the number of shares for the user’s original and new groups need to be modified to meet each group’s anticipated resource needs.

One way to accomplish this change is to:

1.Update the configuration file in a text editor as follows:

a.Modify the number of shares for the purchasing and sales groups.

b.Modify the user record for advisor6 to specify an initial group of purchasing.

2.Load the updated configuration using -kto keep the existing assignments of users, processes, and groups:

# prmconfig -k

3.Move all currently running processes for advisor6 to the PRM group purchasing using prmmove:

#prmmove purchasing -u advisor6

Removing a user’s group assignment

To remove a user record manually:

1.Open the configuration file in a text editor.

2.Remove the line corresponding to the user record you wish to remove. User records have the following form:

USER::::INITIALGROUP[,ALTERNATEGROUP[, ...]]

3.Save the file and exit the text editor.

4.Load the configuration using one of the following commands:

To initialize, moving user processes to the owners’ initial groups and moving applications to their assigned groups, use the command:

#prmconfig -i [-fconfigfile] {-s -c}

To keep the existing assignments of users, processes, and groups, use the command:

#prmconfig -k [-fconfigfile] {-s -c}
