System Parameter Defaults
The default values of the tunable system parameters are usually
adequate; however, changing the value of one or more of the parameters
may be necessary, particularly if many users are using the SNAplus2
products at the same time. Changing the parameters’ values should be
done only after SNAplus2 has been successfully installed and started
using the defaults. The table on the following page shows either the
SNAplus2 default value or the SNAplus2 required value of each tunable
system parameter that affects SNAplus2.
If you need to change any of the parameters’ values, you can use the
/usr/sbin/sam program. This procedure is discussed in the System
Administration Tasks manual for your HP 9000 system. Generally, you
should only increase a parameter’s value in order to avoid affecting other
applications.
