Post Installation Task: Configuring Large 32-way and

64-way Systems

After a cold-install, the newly-installed kernel may need to be

re-configured before booting. To ensure that you have a reliable starting

point, rebuild the kernel by following the steps described below:

1. Login as root and edit /stand/system to include the two lines

shown below:

nproc 512

nkthread 640

2. Run the following commands to make the new kernel:

mk_kernel -v -o /stand/vmunix

3. Fix any problems listed in the mk_kernel output.

4. Update and reboot your system to ensure that your new kernel

successfully boots:

kmupdate

reboot -r
