All,
I've been attempting to up the "max-proc-per-user" kernel stanza in
/etc/sysconfigtab, with "partially" successful results.
I have a boilerplate stanza file which I maintain for one of our
applications and which contains application specific mods to the kernel
parameters.
I've been trying to up max-proc-per-user's from the default value of 64 to
512 and the corresponding kernel stanza file looks like this ...
$ cat stanza.file
proc:
max-proc-per-user: 512
(and lots of other settings)
I applied this using sysconfigdb -m -f stanza.file and bounced the box. A
grep of /etc/sysconfigtab shows that max-proc-per-user is set to 512, but a
sysconfig -q proc max-proc-per-user shows the following
# sysconfig -q proc max-proc-per-user
proc:
max-proc-per-user = 267
All of which leads me to believe that somehow the kernel is rejecting my
custom setting, probably due to a dependency on another kernel setting. I've
RTFM'd all through the Tru64 docs and Compaq's web-site with no luck.
Can anyone suggest what's causing this? The box in question is an
AlphaServer ES40, with 32Gb of physical memory, running 4.0f.
