Set shmmax to 2.75 GB on HP-UX 10.20'
Hi,
Hardware: K370
Memory : 2.5 GB + Swap ( 5 GB )
I need to change the maximun size of shmmax kernel parameter to 2.75 GB.
I know wich it is possible, but I don?t remember.
I remember this steps:
1. Change the /usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux file
in line:
.
.
core-hpux:shmmax SHMMAX 0X4000000
.
.
2. Generete the new kernel
- backup the system and vmunix files
- change the system file :
shmmax 0x9C400000 ( 2.5 GB )
- reboot the system
Do you know if this steps are correctily?
Thank?s
Andre Machado

Hi Andre,
how about using SAM to modify the kernel parameter?? Safe & Easy ;-)
good luck,
Thierry.

All unix flavours are exactly the same . . . . . . . . . . for end users anyway.

Re: Set shmmax to 2.75 GB on HP-UX 10.20'
Hello Andre,
AFAIK the maximum per SINGLE shared memory segment
is still 1GB, not 2.5GB, but with some EXEC_MAGIC tricks
you may have up to 2.75GB in TOTAL (i.e. using multiple
segments). So you will need some linker-commands, or
"chatr" (on HPUX11) and similiar...
Just my ?0.02,
Wodisch

Re: Set shmmax to 2.75 GB on HP-UX 10.20'
Hi Andre,
You might want to look at
1. HP Doc A5013893 ( on how to increase the shmmax
http://us-support2.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/sid=4e7ec34a13487e2562/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000024645549
/Begin/
Use the procedure below to increase shared memory. On a series 800
with HP-UX 10.20, you may access 2.75 GB of shared memory. In that
case, you obtain 2.75 GB with 3 segments:
- 1 GB, 24 KB (quadrant 2)
- 1 GB (quadrant 3)
- 0.75 GB (quadrant 4)
Here are the steps to properly increase
shared memory on your system:
1. Install following patches:
- PHSS_10926
- PHCO_10924
- PHKL_11086
- PHKL_12410
Note: Patches can be superseded by subsequent versions;
be sure to load the current version.
2. Execute chatr -M
3. Increase shmmax (increase by increments of 20).
4. Increase maxdsiz and maxtsiz to correspond to shmmax,
and increase maxssiz proportionally.
5. Regenerate the kernel.
/End/
