Minimum Parameter Settings for Installation

Use this table to set parameters manually if you cannot use the fixup scripts. Verify that the kernel parameters are set to values greater than or equal to the minimum values shown in the following table.

Guidelines for Setting Kernel Parameter Values

If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in this table, then do not change the value of that parameter.
Do not specify values for the following parameters as they are obsolete on HP-UX 11.31:
- msgmap
- msgseg
If you do not use HFS, then retain the default ninode value.
