Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.8

Chapter 3 61
Before Installing HP DCE/9000 Version 1.8
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
Hardware and Software Requirements
Any HP system that you want to make a member of a cell must meet
certain hardware and software requirements. The system requirements
are:
System Type HP 9000 Series 700 or Series 800.
Operating
System HP-UX 11i.
Kernel
Configuration See "Series 700 and 800 Kernel Parameter
Recommendations" in this chapter for recommended
kernel parameter settings.
You can check and, if necessary, change these values
via SAM (the HP-UX System Administration
Manager).
Memory A minimum 64 Mb of memory is recommended for
client-only systems; 128 Mb for server systems.
Swap Space A minimum 50 Mb of swap space is recommended for
client-only systems; at least 250 Mb is recommended
for systems running one or more DCE servers. Device
swap is strongly recommended over file system swap.
File System HP DCE/9000 must be installed on a long-name file
system. If you have a short-name file system, you must
first run convertfs(1m) to convert your file system to
long names.
Series 700 and 800 Kernel Parameter
Recommendations
Hewlett-Packard has found that the default kernel parameter values for
a 11i system installed with Runtime bundles are sufficient for running
HP DCE 1.8 clients and servers under normal conditions (small cells
with hundreds of users) with the following exceptions:
