Impact
The TechSysConf bundle increases the target system disk space occupancy by about
140MB, mostly attributable to the TC-OpenSource product.
Installing the TC-SysSetup product changes kernel parameters, which results in a
kernel build and system reboot. Since most of the kernel parameters are selected for the
ability to improve performance in typical EDA and MDA application environments, a
performance increase should be realized without further kernel tuning.
Specific non-kernel changes include:
• Configure the system as an NFS server in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
• Set NFS daemons to 30 and BIO daemons to 16 in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
These values should only be changed if it increases the setting.
• Modify the search sequence and fallback activities in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
• Enable AutoFS and automount in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
• Set read and write block size to 32Kb in /etc/auto_master.
•Configure /etc/passwd and /etc/group to import NIS-served data.
There are no unique system installation requirements or dependencies. This bundle is
intended to be installed on HP workstations and Technical Servers.
IMPORTANT Users who anticipate running a thousand or more of concurrent processes under either
the TCOE or MTOE should consider decreasing the kernel parameter
maxssiz64_bit to
256MB, or increasing swap allocation to prevent resource exhaustion issues.
