Quick Start


Estimating Required Process Resources

Tivoli Storage Manager uses standard HP-UX processes for concurrent server operations. To estimate the total number of processes that the server may need, you can use the following formula:

     processes = 60 + (2 x maxSessions)

Where maxSessions is the maximum number of concurrent client sessions.

For example, assume that you will have up to 15 client sessions active at the same time. You can calculate that Tivoli Storage Manager needs approximately 90 processes to control its internal operations. You will also need to account for all of the other HP-UX processes that may be running concurrently on your system when computing the total requirements for your HP-UX kernel resources.

After you have estimated the required number of processes, ensure that your kernel configuration contains the correct value. See Viewing and Modifying the Kernel Configuration for details.
