Technical System Configuration
The Technical System Configuration(TechSysConf) product adjusts various configurable
kernel settings, as well, as other system settings with the intent of improving system
performance. TechSysConf determines the system RAM to choose a set of values for
kernel and system tunables. These tunables are compared against any values you may
already have set, and if the proposed value is greater that the current value the proposed
value is used. The modifications that TechSysConf implements are advantageous to the
vast majority of users.
Summary of Change
The HP-UX 11i v2 release delivers a restructured TechSysConf bundle. This bundle no
longer includes the TC-OpenSource tools. The TC-OpenSource tools are still available,
via the Internet Express Media, though are not installed as part of TechSysConf.
The changes to the TC-SysSetup product, that remains within the TechSysConf bundle,
in the HP-UX 11i v2 release, are:
• Alters kernel configurable parameters, assigning values that are proven to increase
performance in technical environments.
• Alters selected system configuration files to facilitate easier NFS, AutoFS, and NIS+
configuration.
Impact
The structure of the TechSysConf bundle has change to exclude the TC-OpenSource
product. The TC-OpenSource product is removed from the target system during an
update from HP-UX 11i v1.6, and removes approximately 140 MB of information from
/opt. All of the TC-OpenSource tools can be installed from the Internet Express Media.
