Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.01.01)
Appendix C 127
C Calculating the Size of Kernels
in Memory
One requirement of vPars is the sum of sizes of the kernels running in
memory must be less than 2 GB. This only limits the maximum number
of partitions that can be created. If you use the defaults of the dynamic
tunables, you will not run into this 2 GB limit. However, if you have
adjusted the dynamic tunables, you can perform the calculations
described in this appendix to ensure you meet this criteria.
For more information on dynamic tunables, see the white paper
