There really is not enough info here. What performance do you want to increase. If you are using your system as a database machine you will do some things, and if you are using your system to compile code you will do something else.

do you want to tune your disks, CPU, kernel, filesystem access, NFS, Web access etc..

Please be more specific about what you are trying to achieve.

Regards

Tim

hi,

i have a standalone machine in that i want to tune the performance of the cpu, and also i want to stop all the un-neccessary service running in that, and even i want to stop all un-neccessary listening ports including sendmail. can you please tell me how do i go about it.

even i want to know what are the parameters to be tuned for the NFS and NIS service, bcoz i am planning implement on that, but before that i want to tune the system performance (CPU)

thanks in advance

OK

1 - Bastile.. This will secure your system, or at least give you pointers.. http://docs.hp.com/en/5990-8172/ch08s12.html
http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B6849AA

2 - NIS & NFS.. these are seperate products, though can work hand in hand ..
http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1153/ch08s04.html

There is very little advice I can give that is specific.. Unfortunately the answer to your questions are "it depends". What yiua rea asking is to condense years of experience into a short forum chat.. not that easy. So the above documantation should give you a start.

Other than a few patches, your machine is running at full speed. You can verify this by stopping all applcation programs and not letting any users login. So your question is more accurately stated: what tools are available to measure the resource usage for various applications? If the application is running slow, the first question is whether the application poorly coded or configured. There are no speed-up parameters in HP-UX, just some parameters that control table sizes and memory usage. Most programs never look at these values so making a particular table larger or memory limit less restrictive won't improve performance--unless you change the application.

Stuart A's reply deserves 10 pts (IMHO).. not too long, bit covers the basics...
