HP XP Application Performance Extender Software - Manual (Page 104)

The following configurations must be set:
1. Setup groups based on applications and need.
Format for creating groups
########## FSS PRM group record #####################################
#
# GROUP:{PRMID | HIER}:SHARES:[MAX]:
#
# GROUP
#
FSS PRM group name. For proper display by the ps command, use no
# more than 7 characters in the PRM group name.
#
# PRMID | HIER
#
Parent nodes in a hierarchy use the HIER keyword, while leaf nodes
# use PRM group ID. PRMIDs must be unique and can range from 1
# to 255. PRMID 1 (the default group for users not explicitly
# assigned to a group) is required.
#
# SHARES
#
CPU shares and, if CPU capping is enabled, the capping value.
# Share amounts can range from 1 to MAXINT. Shares determine the
# resource allocation proportions for all children of the same parent.
#
# MAX (Optional) (Default is no per-group CPU limit)
#
Specifies a max (upper bound) for CPU consumption. The max value is
# expressed as a percent, which is an integer value, ranging from the
# percentage determined by the group's number of CPU shares to 100.
# There is no requirement that the per-group max values total 100%.
# This value is superceded by the minimum percent when CPUCAPON mode
# is enabled.
Example 1. Creating three groups named GRP2, GRP3 and GRP15 with PRM ID 2, 3 and 15
respectively
# GROUP:{PRMID | HIER}:SHARES:[MAX]:
GRP2:2:60::
GRP3:3:30::
GRP15:15:10::
The value specified in SHARES determines the amount of system resources shared by each group.
2. Map the created groups with the applications.
NOTE:
Ensure that the applications with high priority are mapped to groups with maximum SHARES of
system resources.
You must ensure proper mappings so that the system is used efficiently.
