(Tunable Kernel Parameters)
It is strongly recommended that systems configured with non-default settings of the
base_pagesize
tunable use only the VxFS filesytem to avoid problems with HFS.
WARNINGS
Setting this tunable to other than the default can increase application and system performance. However,
it can also cause some applications to fail. It is important to understand the tradeoffs described in the
Tunable Base Page Size white paper before changing this tunable.
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its
meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX.
Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parame-
ter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended
values. For information about the effects of installation on tunable values, consult the documentation for
the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory
installed on your system, see HP-UX Release Notes at
http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs
.
