updated for
June 2001
Most workstations supporting 11.0 do not require a firmware upgrade to run HP-UX 11i.
For 64-bit operation, however, please note the following recommendations:
B1000, C3000 and J5000 systems manufactured before September 1999 require a
firmware upgrade prior to updating to HP-UX 11.x or 11i. For more detailed
information, see HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide.
Workstation Tuned Kernel Parameters
updated for
June 2001
As of the June 2001 release, kernel parameters for CAE and EE Engineering
workstation kernels will be optimized during the installation or update. If the system is
installed or updated using Ignite-UX (IUX), this occurs automatically.
1
If you install or
update manually, the optimization only occurs after you select one of the new
engineering workstation kernel sets via SAM.
On factory Instant Ignition, IUX will install workstation systems with optimized default
kernel parameter settings as long as the system has at least 64MB of RAM. The new
defaults are optimized for general performance and are tailored appropriately for a
32-bit or 64-bit kernel. (The default parameter settings for each set are listed at the end
of this section.) The larger maxdsiz limit for 64-bit installations now allows users to take
advantage of the increased (approximately 3GB) process data space available with the
June 2001 release.
Also on factory Instant Ignition, IUX automatically configures the kernel with the
appropriate new CAE kernel parameter set:
• CAE/ME/General Eng. Workstation 64-bit Kernel, or
• CAE/ME/General Eng. Workstation 32-bit Kernel
