+Subject: HP-UX tuning tips</pre>
+
+ <p>Here are some tuning tips for HP-UX to add to the tuning page.</p>
+
+ <p>For HP-UX 9.X: Upgrade to 10.20<br />
+ For HP-UX 10.[00|01|10]: Upgrade to 10.20</p>
+
+ <p>For HP-UX 10.20:</p>
+
+ <p>Install the latest cumulative ARPA Transport Patch. This
+ will allow you to configure the size of the TCP connection
+ lookup hash table. The default is 256 buckets and must be set
+ to a power of two. This is accomplished with adb against the
+ *disc* image of the kernel. The variable name is <code>tcp_hash_size</code>.
+ Notice that it's critically important that you use "<code>W</code>"
+ to write a 32 bit quantity, not "<code>w</code>" to write a 16 bit
+ value when patching the disc image because the <code>tcp_hash_size</code>
+ variable is a 32 bit quantity.</p>
+
+ <p>How to pick the value? Examine the output of <a href="ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/connhist">ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/connhist</a>
+ and see how many total TCP connections exist on the system. You
+ probably want that number divided by the hash table size to be
+ reasonably small, say less than 10. Folks can look at HP's
+ SPECweb96 disclosures for some common settings. These can be
+ found at <a href="http://www.specbench.org/">http://www.specbench.org/</a>.
+ If an HP-UX system was performing at 1000 SPECweb96 connections
+ per second, the <code>TIME_WAIT</code> time of 60 seconds would mean
+ 60,000 TCP "connections" being tracked.</p>
+
+ <p>Folks can check their listen queue depths with <a href="ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/misc/listenq">ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/misc/listenq</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>If folks are running Apache on a PA-8000 based system, they
+ should consider "chatr'ing" the Apache executable to have a
+ large page size. This would be "<code>chatr +pi L &lt;BINARY&gt;</code>".
+ The GID of the running executable must have <code>MLOCK</code> privileges.
+ <code>Setprivgrp(1m)</code> should be consulted for assigning
+ <code>MLOCK</code>. The change can be validated by running Glance
+ and examining the memory regions of the server(s) to make sure that
+ they show a non-trivial fraction of the text segment being locked.</p>
+
+ <p>If folks are running Apache on MP systems, they might
+ consider writing a small program that uses <code>mpctl()</code>
+ to bind processes to processors. A simple <code>pid % numcpu</code>
+ algorithm is probably sufficient. This might even go into the
+ source code.</p>
+
+ <p>If folks are concerned about the number of <code>FIN_WAIT_2</code>
+ connections, they can use nettune to shrink the value of
+ <code>tcp_keepstart</code>. However, they should be careful there -
+ certainly do not make it less than oh two to four minutes. If
+ <code>tcp_hash_size</code> has been set well, it is probably OK to
+ let the <code>FIN_WAIT_2</code>'s take longer to timeout (perhaps
+ even the default two hours) - they will not on average have a big
+ impact on performance.</p>
+
+ <p>There are other things that could go into the code base, but
+ that might be left for another email. Feel free to drop me a
+ message if you or others are interested.</p>
+
+ <p>sincerely,</p>
