PRM config

[Thomas J. Harrold]

I have two groups of users sharing the same rp7400. Both groups have agreed to let me implement PRM, and (amazingly) both groups have agreed that one group gets 95% of system CPU resources, and the other group gets 5%.

I recently updated netgroups, so that they are accurate.

Can PRM be configured to allow users in a certain netgroup to get 95% of the resources, while everyone else is in the 5% bucket? Can this be done without having to document which applications the users will run?

Thanks in advance,

You can use netgroups to configure USERS in PRM, and I think you do not have to define APPS, do not have my manuals with me :-}

You may want to look at:

Here is a config file that should help. You will want to use OTHERS for the small group and you can name the other one whatever you want. You will want to change the names of the netgroups to be whatever you have defined them as on your system.

#
# Group/CPU records
#
OTHERS:1:5::
biggroup:2:95::
#
# User records
#
+bignetgroup::::biggroup
+smallnetgroup::::OTHERS
