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.

Percentages are inaccurate until you adjust your core allocation.

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.
