I have a mVAX II running Ultrix 3.0 as a boot node, and 2 mVAX 2000's, and 2 VAXStation 2000's booted diskless off of it. the mVAX is only going to be a server, no user logins. It will handle news, mail, etc. Has anybody played around with what's a "good" set of paramters to configure the kernel to? Since I want the mVAX to use as much real memory as possible for buffers, should I crank up the MAXUSERS stuff? what about the per-user process stuff? Should it be high numbers or low? Are there some undocumented things I should set? What about nfsd's? The manual suggests two, I've tried 4, and can't really tell a difference, other than the load average on the mVAX goes up. I've played with some of the stuff, but I think it's a fairly subjective thing. I suppose I could get MUSBUS from comp.sources.unix, and try various parameters, and such, but I hope somebody else has done this. Mail responses to: icsu6000@caesar.cs.montana.edu and I'll summarize and post if there is enough interest. Thanx in advance for any info or light you can shed.
