11.23 Kernel Parameters

[Darrell Campbell]

My database vendor is telling me to change the following kernel parameters (if they exist):
Max. num. of user processes.
Max. num. of system users.
Max. num. of semaphores.
Max. num. of per-process open files.
Max. num. of system wide files.
Max. num. of system processes.

I think the following are associated:
Max. num. of user processes (maxuprc)
Max. num. of per-process open files (maxfiles)
Max. num. of system processes (nproc)

Does anybody know what parameters are associated with:
Max. num. of system users.
Max. num. of semaphores.
Max. num. of system wide files.

There is no max number of users.

Semaphores -- check the sem* parameters
System wide open files -- nfile

Off teh top of my head:

Max. num. of user processes -> maxuproc
Max. num. of system users -> maxusers
Max. num. of semaphores -> semmni
Max. num. of per-process open files -> maxfiles
Max. num. of system wide files -> nfile
Max. num. of system processes -> nproc

Note that as of HP-UX 11.23 maxusers is no longer used
