Tru 64 Memory

[Johan Brusche]

If a parameter is not in sysconfigtab then the system uses the default value as given in "man sys_attrs_proc" and shown by "sysconfig -q proc".

For values other than default an entry must be added in /etc/sysconfigtab.
The "supported" way to add an entry is via
the command sysconfigdb.

For these proc parameters you need to reboot to make them effective.

create a file sysconfigtab.add in /tmp with
proc:
per_proc_stack_size = 33554432
per_proc_data_size = 1073741824

add to sysconfigtab with:
sysconfigdb -m -f sysconfigtab.add

I have done everything that you have advised me to do but I was wondering:

Does the memory have to come from swap. I booted to the console and did a "show mem"
It showed I had about 12GB of memory. How can I utilize this memory as opposed to the swap.

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

As long as you have vm_swap_eager = 1, memory, which programmes reserve, is allocated in the swap, even it won't be used. I once had 60 lpd processes with 10mb requested memory, running me out of swap.

The difference you can see in the two lines:
Reserved space 10117 pages (20%)
In-use space: 1 (0%)
