SUT Notes

All file systems are HP-UX with HFS
1 (36GB) disk used for OS
1 (73GB) disk split into three logical volumes using LVM
lvol1 (21GB) mounted with behind option used for doc_root & post.log
lvol2 (24GB) mounted with read-only option used for the file_set
lvol3 (24GB) mounted with largefiles, behind options used for logs
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
Processor binding is performed by: mpsched -c cpu# -p pid
Set page size attribute for zeus.web and zeus.cgi binaries
chatr +pd 64K +pi 64K zeus.cgi
chatr +pd 64M +pi 64M zeus.web
