The suggested kernel parameter settings require changing some values to numbers greater than those allowed by SAM. The following procedure will modify SAM's configuration to allow a greater maximum value for several kernel parameters.

This procedure should be performed as root:

• View the file: /usr/sam/lib/kc/params.tx
  • Look for lines starting with maxfiles and maxfiles_lim. They should start like this:
    • maxfiles:::
    • maxfiles_lim:::
  • If they start are like this:
    • maxfiles:number:number
    • maxfiles:number:number
  • Then...
    • delete number (leave the colons)
• Edit /usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux
  • Locate the following two lines
    • *range maxfiles<=number
    • *range maxfiles_lim<=number
  • Change number to 32000
• Run this program
  • /usr/sam/lbin/getkinfo -b -w
• Sam will now allow maxfiles and maxfiles_lim to be given values up to number
