Patch Description: s700 10.20 ncsize tunable patch

Creation Date: 99/04/21

Post Date:  99/04/26

Hardware Platforms - OS Releases:
	s700: 10.20

Products: N/A

Filesets:
	OS-Core.KERN-RUN

Automatic Reboot?: No

Status: General Superseded

Critical: No

Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_18334

Symptoms:
	PHKL_18334:
	Slow performance on HFS file systems due to DNLC performance
	scalability issues.  Decreasing the size of the DNLC
	improves performance.

Defect Description:
	PHKL_18334:
	The size of the DNLC may impact the performance of ufs file
	systems.  A work around tested successfully is to tune the
	size of the DNLC smaller in order to improve performance.
	Resolution:
	Added a kernel tunable, ncsize, which can be set to reduce
	the size of the DNLC.

Installation Instructions:

	before installing this patch.
	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHKL_18334

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHKL_18334.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHKL_18334.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHKL_18334.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHKL_18334.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHKL_18334.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	This patch depends on base patch PHKL_16750 .
	For successful installation please insure that PHKL_16750
	is in the same depot with PHKL_18334, or PHKL_16750  is
	already installed.
