PRM and WLM Overview
This chapter provides a quick overview and some examples of using HP Process Resource Manager (PRM). PRM is a tool that controls the amount of resources processes use. The control over the amount of resources used is normally done when the system is at peak load with 100% utilization of CPU, memory, or disk. Another way of controlling resources is to use caps. The cap is in place regardless of the overall loading on the system. We'll cover both the peak load resource control as well as the capping approach in our examples in this chapter. Then we'll cover an Oracle-specific example of using PRM. The following list describes the three examples we'll cover:
Manual PRM setup and resource caps.
