-Subject: HP-UX tuning tips
-</pre>
- Here are some tuning tips for HP-UX to add to the tuning page.
-
- <p>For HP-UX 9.X: Upgrade to 10.20<br />
- For HP-UX 10.[00|01|10]: Upgrade to 10.20</p>
-
- <p>For HP-UX 10.20:</p>
-
- <p>Install the latest cumulative ARPA Transport Patch. This
- will allow you to configure the size of the TCP connection
- lookup hash table. The default is 256 buckets and must be set
- to a power of two. This is accomplished with adb against the
- *disc* image of the kernel. The variable name is tcp_hash_size.
- Notice that it's critically important that you use "W" to write
- a 32 bit quantity, not "w" to write a 16 bit value when
- patching the disc image because the tcp_hash_size variable is a
- 32 bit quantity.</p>
-
- <p>How to pick the value? Examine the output of <a
- href="ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/connhist">ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/connhist</a>
- and see how many total TCP connections exist on the system. You
- probably want that number divided by the hash table size to be
- reasonably small, say less than 10. Folks can look at HP's
- SPECweb96 disclosures for some common settings. These can be
- found at <a
- href="http://www.specbench.org/">http://www.specbench.org/</a>.
- If an HP-UX system was performing at 1000 SPECweb96 connections
- per second, the TIME_WAIT time of 60 seconds would mean 60,000
- TCP "connections" being tracked.</p>
-
- <p>Folks can check their listen queue depths with <a
- href="ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/misc/listenq">ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/misc/listenq</a>.</p>
-
- <p>If folks are running Apache on a PA-8000 based system, they
- should consider "chatr'ing" the Apache executable to have a
- large page size. This would be "chatr +pi L &lt;BINARY&gt;."
- The GID of the running executable must have MLOCK privileges.
- Setprivgrp(1m) should be consulted for assigning MLOCK. The
- change can be validated by running Glance and examining the
- memory regions of the server(s) to make sure that they show a
- non-trivial fraction of the text segment being locked.</p>
-
- <p>If folks are running Apache on MP systems, they might
- consider writing a small program that uses mpctl() to bind
- processes to processors. A simple pid % numcpu algorithm is
- probably sufficient. This might even go into the source
- code.</p>
-
- <p>If folks are concerned about the number of FIN_WAIT_2
- connections, they can use nettune to shrink the value of
- tcp_keepstart. However, they should be careful there -
- certainly do not make it less than oh two to four minutes. If
- tcp_hash_size has been set well, it is probably OK to let the
- FIN_WAIT_2's take longer to timeout (perhaps even the default
- two hours) - they will not on average have a big impact on
- performance.</p>
-
- <p>There are other things that could go into the code base, but
- that might be left for another email. Feel free to drop me a
- message if you or others are interested.</p>
-
- <p>sincerely,</p>
