3.1.19System Configuration and Tuning

The System Configuration and Tuning manual describes how to plan, set up, and tune high-performance and high-availability systems running the Tru64 UNIX operating system. It can help system administrators to accomplish many system tasks, including the following:

•Monitoring systems and diagnosing performance problems

•Configuring and tuning a system that will meet current and future needs

•Tuning system resource limits (such as the size of system tables and the virtual address space) that were set at boot time

•Understanding how hardware, operating system subsystems, and layered products interact to affect system performance

•Managing the performance of memory, the CPU, disk storage, file systems, and networks

3.1.20System Configuration Supplement: OEM Platforms

The System Configuration Supplement: OEM Platforms manual provides information needed to set up OEM platforms running the Tru64 UNIX operating system. It helps system and network administrators configure Alpha VME single-board computers (SBCs), PCI/ISA modular SBCs, and VMEbus backplane networks in which SBCs operate as Ethernet nodes.

This manual is for experienced system and network administrators who are thoroughly familiar with their platform’s I/O bus and with the operating system concepts, commands, and configurations.

The X Window System Environment manual describes various aspects of the X Window System environment as it is implemented on Tru64 UNIX. It provides information on how to perform system administration tasks for the Tru64 UNIX X Window System environment, and describes how to customize X Window System resources and key mappings.
