SUT Notes

All file systems are HP-UX HFS
1 (36 GB) used for OS
1 (36 GB) disk mounted with behind option used for doc_root & post.log
1 (36 GB) disk mounted with largefiles, behind options used for logs
1 (72 GB) disk mounted with read-only option used for the file_set
File system containing logs is 64KB block size (def. 8KB) and 8KB fragments (def. 1KB)
Bound each zeus instance to the processor corresponding to its NIC
Bound cgi instance to the processor corresponding to NIC with lighter load (See client notes)
Processor binding is performed by: mpsched -c cpu# -p pid
Set page size attributs for zeus.web, zeus.cgi binaries and zeus.cgi in zeus-kit
chatr +pd 64K +pi 64K zeus.cgi
chatr +pd 4G +pi 4G zeus.web
System was configured as a single partition with 4 cells and 4 processors per cell.
System memory modules were distributed evenly across cells.
