Large Systems (32-way/64-way) Require Higher Kernel Settings
The HP-UX 11i v1 Installation and Update Guide for December
2006 describes incorrect kernel settings for the "Post Installation
Task" for large systems on page 83.
What To Do
After a cold-install, the new kernel may need to be re-configured
before booting. Rebuild the kernel by following the steps
described below:
1. Login as root and edit /stand/system to include the lines
shown below:
• ninode = 2048 (default is 476)
• nproc = 1024 (default is 276)
• nfile = 2048 (default is 790)
• nkthread = 1280
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.
