Good morning.
This past weekend, we upgraded our A/S 4000 to Tru64 5.1B, along with
installing a 2d processor and an additional 1GB memory. Users also
immediately complained of the system being slower. I worked with our
application support line and HP support to ensure the proper kernel
configurations, rebuilding the kernel late Wednesday. System reboot
was early Thursday morning.
I then ran sys_check and have discovered a strange memory problem.
There is a major difference between the amounts of physical and available
memory. HP support indicates that this is a very strange message!
Any ideas as to where I should start?
Thanks in advance.
