Agenda
Setting up new systems
Standardizing for easy administration
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Memory Management
Disk space management

Useful tools
Additional resources
3
Setting up new systems
Disk layout
Internal/external issues
VG00 design
Massive lvols, flat directories
Networking
SAM, netconf, set_parms
100BaseT issues
Cron jobs
Logfiles, cleanup, backup
4
Setting up new systems
Roots shell
/sbin/sh
POSIX /usr/bin/sh vs. Bourne
/usr/bin/sh vs. Korn shell
Users can change: chsh login-name /usr/bin/some_shell
Login tty settings:
# is erase 1 char (backspace)
Fix all logins with a one-time command:
s11y s11y s11y s11y erase 'R` < 1dev1 erase 'R` < 1dev1 erase 'R` < 1dev1 erase 'R` < 1dev111yconf 11yconf 11yconf 11yconf
Add others such as:
s11y s11y s11y s11y erase "R" k1JJ "u" erase "R" k1JJ "u" erase "R" k1JJ "u" erase "R" k1JJ "u" 1n1r 1n1r 1n1r 1n1r "0" "0" "0" "0" eof eof eof eof "0" "0" "0" "0" - -- -par11y par11y par11y par11y 1xoff 1xoff 1xoff 1xoff
Use to set tty defaults such as baud rate

Eliminate core files: uJ1n11 -Sc 0
10
Standardizing for easy administration
Standard profiles
Interactive versus batch
Errors: s11y: no1 a 1ypeWr11er
Separate the interactive commands:
Multiple 1f 1n1erac11ve statements
Or separate the interactive portion in a separate
script
Interactive commands: s11y 1pu1 11y1ype
Interactive settings: $TZ $01SPLAY
Login controls: 1e1c1noJog1n
11.0 with security patches, standard on 11i
Add: N0L061N=1 to /etc/default/security
11
Standardizing for easy administration
Standard profiles
$R0|E1.prof1Je
1e1c1skeJ to standardize new users, or replace
Cant keep from being changed by users ($R0|E must be writable
which means no file is safe)
Same interactive issues with batch logins
May want to have $R0|E1.JocaJprof1Je for user mods
Download sample profiles:
ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/profiles
12
Standardizing for easy administration
Other /etc/skel files:
.exrc (vi defaults)
noWs (dont wrap searches around)
1c (ignore case on searches)
a1 (follow prev left indent)
aW (update source at shell escapes: !)
Wn (wrap to next line, =0 no wrap)
repor1 (shows # of lines changed)
shoWnode (INPUT or REPLACE MODE tag)
se1 noWs 1c au1o1nden1 au1oWr11e Wrapnarg1n=2 .
13
Standardizing for easy administration
Restricted access methods
Restricted shells: rsh, rksh, rcsh
$HOME is / for user
NO access to /usr or any other directrories
Must create a local bin with binaries and set $PATH
Usually simpler to use a menu script (no shell)
Backup procedures
Classic tools: tar cpio pax dump
No index, no search, no error recovery, no changer support, no
largefiles
fbackup/frecover
Index on every tape, high speed search, error recovery, change hooks,
largefile-capable
14
Standardizing for easy administration
Backup procedures (contd)
Features:
Largefiles, error recovery, changer support, parallel tape drives,
network backup/restore, multi-platform, centralized indexing
Commercial backup programs

Standardizing for easy administration
Centralized patching
Pick a central server
Create a hierarchical structure (test, pre-production,
production)
Use swcopy to add patches and patch depots
Use swreg to make the depot visible on the network (dont
use NFS)
On clients, use swlist to view the remote depot(s)
swlist l depot @ patch_servername
Network installs:
swinstall s depot_name@patch_servername file_set (or \*)

Performance and Kernel Tuning
What can be changed
Performance measurement
Built-in tools
SarCheck
MetaView, Performance Gallery
Glance/gpm, Measureware
Kernel parameters
Filesystems
Processes
RAM and virtual memory
Network
20
Performance and Kernel Tuning
What can be changed
Most kernel params size tables, provide limits
or set behavior
CPU bound
Multi-CPU features
I/O bound
Disk
Swap (memory limited)
LAN
21
Performance and Kernel Tuning
nfile: 14min, no limit
Every opened file (including multiple opens)
Formula scales with maxusers
Every process has a minimum of 3
nflocks: 2min, 200def, no limit
Maximum number of open file-locks
One file may have several locks
Application dependent
Databases may need hundreds
Filesystem parameters
22
ninode: 14min, no limit
In-memory cache of unique current and recent HFS file
locations
Speeds re-open, multi-process file access
Indirectly controls the size of the DNLC, ncsize, ncdnode and
vx_ninode.
1000 to 8192, lower if ncsize is adjusted
Formula in SAM is not useful for large systems
Best recommendations are in NFS Performance book by Dave
Olker
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Filesystem parameters
23
ncdnode: 14min, no limit
In-memory cache of unique current and recent CDFS
file locations (CDROM)
Speeds re-open, multi-process file access
Usually OK unless multiple user access needed for
CDROM or multiple CDROM drives
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Filesystem parameters
24
maxfiles: 60 default
Maximum number of files opened by a single process
Used to control runaway processes
Override with setrlimit(2) system call or ulimit n
Hard ceiling is maxfiles_lim
Commonly recommended too high (4096) by database vendors
Commonly recommended maxfiles = maxfiles_lim but not a good
idea (use ulimit as needed)
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Filesystem parameters
25
fs_async:
0 = synchronous writes to directory structures
1 = async
Apx. 20-30% faster write speed (no read change)
Very high probability of data loss with a powerfail or system panic
(fsck fails to fix)
Default_disk_ir:
0 = no immediate reporting (waits for writes to complete
1 = immediate reporting (disk buffers writes)
Applies to all disks including raw devices
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Filesystem parameters
26
disksort_seconds:
HP-UX gives priority to serial rd/wt queues
Intense serial I/O slows random I/O
Value in seconds to wait before changing priority
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Filesystem parameters
27
Performance and Kernel Tuning
nproc:
Maximum processes to run at same time
Often way too low in servers
maxuprc:
Maximum processes owned by a single UID
Collective, not per login
Generic logins can require hundreds or more
Process parameters
28
maxdsiz: 256 megs default (was 64megs)
32bit programs only
Max can be 2Gb (SAM) but mapping limits are 960 and 1750
depending on compiler (or chatr) options. 3+ Gb with tricks.
ulimit d to create a lower limit
maxdsiz_64: 64 megs default
64bit programs only
Max is 4000 Gb
Mem_mgt + proc_mgt note (/usr/share/doc not 11i)
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Process parameters
29
maxssiz: 8 megs default
32bit programs only
Seldom needs changing
Exception for specialized programs or poor design (pass by data
not address/pointer)
maxtsiz: 64megs default
Maximum for unchanging instructions
Directly related to executables file size
2Gb max (32bit) or 4096Gb (64bit)
Performance and Kernel Tuning
Process parameters
30
maxswapchunks:
Used to size maximum swap (32Gb)
Useable swap is:
maxswapchunks * swchunk * dev_bsize where: swchunk=2048 and
dev_bsize=1024
Leave swchunk as default
Formula simplifies to:
maxswapchunks=DESIRED-SWAP / 2097152
nswapdev, nswapfs:
Maximum swap devices and filesystems

What can you change:
Move busy filesystems to other disks
Move disks to additional channels
Add more processors (and/or change processor speed)
Add more RAM (application dependent)
Change large data area programs to use large memory pages
(chatr) to reduce TLB misses
Use AutoPort Aggregation (APA) for parallel data transfers (and
fallback reliability)

Memory Management
32/64 bit
32 bit Data area
32 bit Shared memory
Memory windows
78
Memory Management
32/64 bit
HP-UX operating system
Hardware dependent
32bit only
32/64bit (either)
64bit only (new machines)
32bit programs run in either
64bit programs only for 64bit HP-UX
64bit programs remove memory map limitations, not a
performance feature
79
Memory Management
32 bit Data area
32bit programs have four 1000meg quadrants
Default data area = 960megs apx.
Compiler or chatr options for EXEC_MAGIC allow
quadrant 1 and 2 to be combined for about 1750 megs
total data area
Adjust maxdsiz if necessary
Documentation in /usr/share/doc for mem_mgt and
proc_mgt (missing in 11i)
80
Memory Management
32 bit Shared memory
Most common limitation for 32bit database programs
Oracle: SGA is shared memory
Similar limits (960megs and 1750 megs)
Use SHMEM_MAGIC option for 1750 meg access
(all sharing processes must match)
ALL 32bit shared memory processes have one map
(fragmentation, memory mapped files, shared libraries)
Use ipcs bmop for a snapshot (does not show fragmentation)
Get shminfo from the hprc.external.hp.com ftp site:
ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin
81
Memory Management
Memory windows
Reserves a separate memory map to remove
fragmentation issues
Memory-mapped files, shared libraries are in memory
window 0 (plus normal shared memory processes)
Need patches for 11.0 to enable
Set kernel param for quantity of windows
Start ALL sharing programs with memory window
startup command.
82
Disk space management
Root filesystem
VG00 size and management
HP-UX only, possibly user $HOME
3-6Gb typical
New systems have 36/72Gb internal (too big)
Or use external disks
SCSI vs. fibre channel
Boot issues for external arrays
NAS versus SAN
Mirroring
Ignite/UX and VG00
Striping VG00
83
Disk space management
Small versus large disks
JBODs
Arrays
Large lvols
Large files versus thousands of small files
Flat versus hierarchical directory structure
Performance
System impact (from users)
Managing files and backups
84
Disk space management
Filesystem types:
HFS (Fast FileSystem - BSD, circa 1984)
VxFS (Veritas FileSystem, aka Journaled FileSystem)
or JFS
CDFS (CDROM FileSystem - ISO 9660 only)
NFS (Network FileSystem)
85
Disk space management
HFS (Fast FileSystem - BSD, circa 1984)
McKusick HPF and fragmentation
fsck proportional to directory size
Inode count fixed at creation
resizing
up = umount, lvextend, extendfs
down = umount, backup, lvreduce, newfs,
reload from backup, mount
86
Disk space management
JFS (Veritas filesystem, not Volume Manager)
Aka: Journaled FileSystem or JFS
Inodes created as needed
Very busy filesystem may need defrag
Online (Advanced) JFS option needed for online
resizing and advanced options
Better overall performance than HFS
87
Disk space management
CDFS (CDROM filesystem)
ISO 9660 only (see below)
8.3 UPPERCASE filenames plus ;1 version
11.0 patch for ocdcase to lower UPPERCASE and remove ;1
version (but no long filenanes
HP makes special (non-standard) CDs for Core, Application,
SupportPlus, etc that have long filenames
PFS (Portable FileSystem) to perform RockRidge or long
filename translation
Recent patches add orr to natively handle long filenames
No direct support for Joliet, audio, multimedia, DVD
No direct support for CD writers
88
Disk space management
NFS (Network FileSystem)
Network-based filesystem (server and clients)
Stateless so performance issues exist
Does require tuning for heavy usage
Version 2 = no largefiles
Version 3 = largefile-capable
nfsstat very useful
biod and nfsd quantity
Network quality
NFS Performance book by Dave Olker
89
Disk space management
VG00 filesystem design
/ (root) lvol
HP-UX only, rest = mountpoints
Static: size to about 256 megs
/etc /dev /sbin (thats all!)
/stand lvol
Only HFS filesystem
Holds bootable kernels (current and previous)
60-200 megs
90
Disk space management
VG00 filesystem design - other HP-UX mountpoints
/usr = HP-UX and local executables, libraries
/bin and /lib
/usr/local versus /usr/contrib
Perhaps 400-1000 megs
/opt = application installation directories
/opt/app-name
bin doc lib lbin etc man
Perhaps 500-1500 megs
/tmp = system temporary directory (note: system)
Not for users, scripts, etc
Perhaps 200-400 megs
91
Disk space management
VG00 filesystem design - other HP-UX mountpoints
/var = variable directory
Most critical directory in HP-UX
When full, daemons and processes abort
Used by many unrelated subsystems
Ideally, separate mountpoint lvols will be created for the most intrusive
directories:
/var/mail
/var/spool
/var/tmp
/var/adm
/var/adm/crash
/var/adm/sw
92
Disk space management
VG00 filesystem design - other HP-UX mountpoints
/home = user home directories
Highly variable
When full, cause little impact to production processes
May require active space management or quotas
