rx8640/11.31 Process Resource Manager//Cu using SMH to try to set up FSS PRM Group and getting error

FW: rx8640/11.31 Process Resource Manager//Cu using SMH to try to set up FSS PRM Group and getting error Problem Description:Unable to add a New PRM Group Definition: I am trying to create a new PRM group for one Database instance I want to use the FSS group type, however during testing I was not able to add anything other than an "OTHERS" group. Total Cores: -2, Available Cores: -3 (1 core reserved for FSS groups) error states Add PRM Groups Error: You will exceed your core capacity. Percentages are inaccurate until you adjust your core allocation. PHKL_39606 1.0 PRM/FSS cumulative patch with LVM enhancement PRM-Sw-Gui C.03.05 Process Resource Manager PRM-Sw-Gui product PRM-Sw-Krn C.01.05 Process Resource Manager PRM-Sw-Krn product PRM-Sw-Lib C.03.05 Process Resource Manager PRM-Sw-Lib product http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01911854/c01911854.pdf Cu has one rx8640 split into 2 vpars. He is using SMH to try to create the FSS PRM group. collect PRM specific data and send it to me? I attached the wlmprm.sh script. Save it to a directory and run it with the -p option: # chmod 755 wlmprm.sh # ./wlmprm.sh -p Command line: ./wlmprm.sh ./wlmprm.sh: wlmprm.sh 1.08 Mar 9, 2010 Saving data to /tmp/WLMPRM ... Ready. Check the /tmp/WLMPRM/wlmprm.scan and provide the file /tmp/WLMPRM/wlmprm.tar . You need to cleanup /tmp/WLMPRM manually. After receiving the logs,observations. The source of the error in SMH seems to be that the GUI does not properly recognize the number of cores. On test server ,got the same error despite 4 cores being available: Total Cores: -2, Available Cores: -3 So updated to PRM version 3.06 from the March 2012 application DVDs: B3835DA C.03.06 HP Process Resource Manager ran the config script again (Need to adjust java path): # /opt/prm/bin/prmsmhconfig -c Creating /etc/opt/prm/conf directory. Copying files to the SMH directory. /opt/prm/bin/prmsmhconfig[59]: /opt/java/bin/jar: not found. The PRM GUI for SMH was successfully configured. # vi /opt/prm/bin/prmsmhconfig ... # # JAR points to the location where Java/jar is installed # JAR=/opt/java6/bin/jar # /opt/prm/bin/prmsmhconfig -c Creating /etc/opt/prm/conf directory. Copying files to the SMH directory. The PRM GUI for SMH was successfully configured. Now the SMH PRM GUI recognizes the cores and can add FSS groups: Total Cores: 4, Available Cores: 3 There are a number of defects fixed in 3.06 like this issue. To resolve it, please update to PRM 3.06. It does require a reboot though. First we should configure/test on test server and then copy the prm configuration file over to the production server, adjust it and use the manual method to activate PRM. The manual configuration of PRM as described in the User Guide still works. attached the latest version of the HP-UX recovery handbook - PRM chapter FYI.

Mounting of NFS File System on HP-UX 11.31 Server.

Mounting of NFS File System on HP-UX 11.31 Server.

Source Server : Server whose file system you want to share
Destination Server : Server where you want to mount.

From the HP-UX 11.31 Source Server :

e.g I want to mount /stage/StageR12 on HP-UX Destination Server.

# share -F nfs -o rw /stage/StageR12/
# share -- will show which file system you want to share.
- /stage/StageR12 rw " "
#

# shareall

From the HP-UX 11.31 Destination Server :

# mount hostname:/stage/StageR12/ /backup/stage/
or
# mount ipaddress:/stage/StageR12/ /backup/stage/


Unmounting of NFS File System

Destination Server:

# umount /backup/stage/

if getting error
# umount /mountpoint e.g # umount /backup/stage/
umount: cannot unmount /dev/disk/disk23 : Device busy
umount: return error 1.

Run :

# fuser -kuc /mountpoint e.g # fuser -kuc /backup/stage/

# umount /backup/stage/

Source Server :

# unshare /stage/StageR12/

#unshareall if using shareall command on source server

Hi Krishna,
It was nice working with you. issue seems to be fixed now.
Its working fine for our your IDs. We are just waiting for DBA users to confirm .
You can keep the case under pending for now. I will update for closer.
