Before Installing HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7

Prerequisites

•maxfiles must be increased to a minimum of 256 for all systems.

•The default value for maxdsize is sufficient except in cases where you have many tens of thousands of users. At this point you should monitor the process size of your secd and cdsd. If the process size approaches the maxdsize value, maxdsize should be increased.

Kernel parameter tuning is highly application dependent. It is expected that you might need to modify your kernel parameters based upon your specific applications needs.
