HP CIFS Server A.02 Memory and Disc Requirements
Updated HP CIFS Server Memory Requirements for versions A.02.01or
Newer
As of version A.02.01, you need to have 1000 KB system memory per
smbd process. The HP CIFS Server processes increased their base use of
system memory by 400 KB from the previous base of 600 KB per smbd
process and represents an increase of approximately 70 percent. The
increased memory footprint is the result of adding new features.
In addition to the base memory increase, the smbd process may now also
allocate memory for specialized caching requirements as needed. The
size and timing of these memory allocations vary widely depending on
the client type and the resources being accessed. A single smbd process
may temporarily use up to 4 MB of memory swap space. However, most
client access patterns will not trigger such specialized caching. System
administrators should routinely monitor memory utilization in order to
evaluate this new dynamic memory behavior.
You may need to adjust HP-UX server memory configurations to
accommodate these changes when upgrading from previous versions
Refer to Chapter 12, “HP-UX Configuration for HP CIFS” in this manual
for more detailed information.
