Hi,

What a question! :-)

For Oracle, follow the recommendations in the release notes on their documentation server. This should take care of the swap space and IPC parameters etc.

All you should initially have to take care of is the maxusers parameter - set it to around 600? This should scale a lot of others, like nproc to appropriate values. Also ensure the dynamic buffer cache max, dbc_max_pct is scaled down from the default of 50%. Look to set it to about 400MB - so about 10%.

This should do for a start, you can tune the rest as you see fit and conditions warrant.

Regards,

James.

Hi Again,

Here is the link to the 8.1.6 release documentation, including the HPUX docs:

http://technet.oracle.com/documentation/oracle8i_arch_816.html

Looks like the installation guide covers the kernel parameters:

You need to register to access these though.
