We need your help to setup the below parameters for a user in our HP-UX 11.31 Virtual machine running 11.31 VSE.
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 8192
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 260000
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited
I am able to see the below parameter when use 'ulimit -a' as root
# ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 131072
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 2048
But when I login as an user I am able to see only the below parameters
$ ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 131072
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
- Please let me know why I am not able to see
'nofiles' and 'vmemory' parameters and how to set these two parameter?
- What is vmemory parameter and is it different from memory paramter which I get when I use 'ulimit -a' as root?
Thanks
Gaby

Change your login shell to /usr/bin/sh and you'll have all the options available

What shell produced that line? I can't get it with the Posix shell on an ordinary server.

Re: Need help on ulimit setting in HP-UX 11.31 Server
Thanks for the reply.
We got the parameter requiement from our application vendor (AMDOCS) to set the 'vmemory' and 'nofiles' for amdocs apps user on the server.
Please help us to set these parameters so that if we login as apps user and do 'ulimit -a' we should get both the parameter in the output.
Thanks again
Regards,
Gaby

Re: Need help on ulimit setting in HP-UX 11.31 Server
Apparently your application vendor has not tested on an HP-UX system. ulimit is a shell built-in to return values available from the kernel. Ask your vendor for HP-UX instructions.

AMDOCs should know better.
They test all their products on HP-UX in Israel.
You have bad documentation. You need something OS specific.

You can set the kernel parms with kctune(1m). (I don't know what vmemory does?)

Yeah -- looks like a bash thing at least for some versions:

-v The maximum amount of virtual memory available to the process.
Has to be Address Space rlimit.
