maxdsiz

default value: 0x04000000 (67108864 decimal)
max value: 0x010000000 (268435456 decimal)

On an 11.0 machine, you can use kmtune to tell you the default, present and maximum value of any kernel parameter. Just do a ktune -l.

Re: max value for maxdsiz


On a 32-bit system you can only address 1.75GB so its pointless setting it higher than that, although you probably could. On a 64-bit system the maximum is into the hundreds of Gigabytes - or at least the size of physical RAM.

Re: max value for maxdsiz

Hi:

maxdsiz for 32-bit processors:

Minimum = 0x400000 (4 Mbytes)
Maximum = 0x7B03A000 (approx 2 Gbytes)
Default = 0x4000000 (64 Mbytes)

maxdsiz_64bit for 64-bit processors:

Minimum = 0x400000 (4 Mbytes)
Maximum = 4396972769279
Default = 0x4000000 (64 Mbytes)

Regards!

Re: max value for maxdsiz

Hi:

I think you will find this document useful:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/KCparams.OverviewAll.html

If you are running 10.x you can also use 'sysdef'. If you are running 11.x, then 'kmtune' is what you need. Have a look at the man pages for each.

Regards!

Re: max value for maxdsiz

Opps...sorry about the mistake...I was looking at the value that was set on our machine instead of the max value. That's what you get for trying to answer questions at 5:00 in the morning....

The various kernel parameters are listed on the HP documentation web page (docs.hp.com) as well as in the file /usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux.
