HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 on HP Integrity Server Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3112, June 2013)

All startup messages must say OK. Look for any startup error messages in the /var/hpsrp/
<srp_name>/etc/rc.log file.
Verify the status of the container:
$ srp –status <srp_name> -v
Log in to the container from the host:
$ srp_su <srp_name>
Also, attempt to log in using the telnet and ssh commands.
Start applications using the normal procedures and perform exhaustive functional and performance
testing to ensure compatibility.
Stop the container:
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
4.7 Workarounds for known issues
Some applications, especially database servers and old java applications, have known issues
inside HP 9000 containers. To verify whether any of the workarounds are applicable to the migrated
environment, see Section 12.6 (page 80).
4.8 Tweaking ARIES configuration
This section explains the additional configuration that might be required for ARIES binary translator
in certain environments.
4.8.1 Configuring for more threads
The number of threads that a 32-bit application can support under ARIES is limited by the value
of the kernel tunable parameter pa_maxssiz_32bit. With the default configuration parameter,
85 threads can be supported. For every additional thread, the parameter needs to be increased
by 215 KB. For example, if an application needs 300 threads, pa_maxssiz_32bit needs to
be increased by (300-85)*215*1024 bytes.
If the number of threads that the application needs is unknown, use a parameter of 128 MB, which
will suffice for more than 300 threads.
$ kctune pa_maxssiz_32bit=128MB
In addition to tuning the kernel tunable parameter, configure ARIES to support more threads. Add
the following line to the /.ariesrc file:
# start config for more threads
<executable path name> -mem_tune heap_max
# end config for more threads
4.8.2 Configuring for more stack size
The main thread stack for emulated applications is allocated by ARIES, not by the kernel. Hence,
it is not possible to modify this using the ulimit –s command. The default stack size is 8 MB for
32-bit applications. To increase the stack size to 16 MB, increase the value of the
pa_maxssiz_32bit parameter by 8 MB and add the following lines to the /.ariesrc file:
# start configuration for 16 MB stack
<executable path name> -ssz 16384
# end configuration for 16 MB stack
4.8.3 Configuring machine-specific parameters
To match applications with certain machine-specific parameters from the HP 9000 server, ARIES
(PHSS_41423 or a later patch) provides the following configuration options (can be added to the
existing /.ariesrc and /.aries64rc files):
