Reconfiguring config_rt_dptbl

A real-time administrator can change the behavior of the real-time portion of the scheduler by reconfiguring the config_rt_dptbl at any time. For more information, see the section "Replacing the rt_dptbl Loadable Module" in the rt_dptbl(5) man page.

A second method for examining or modifying the real-time parameter table on a running system is through the dispadmin command. Invoking dispadmin for the real-time class enables retrieval of the current rt_quantum values in the current config_rt_dptbl configuration from the kernel's in-core table. For more information, see the dispadmin(8) man page. When overwriting the current in-core table, the configuration file used for input to dispadmin must conform to the specific format described in the rt_dptbl(5) man page.

Following is an example of prioritized processes rtdpent_t with their associated time quantum config_rt_dptbl[] value as the processes might appear in config_rt_dptbl[].
