Physical memory is a finite resource. It is also a shared resource with many processes attempting to access this finite resource. Not only do processes need memory in order to run, the HP-UX operating system (or kernel) also needs spaces for its critical resources and tables. Some of these resources are static (do not change in size) and some are dynamic. Many of these resources can be configured to be a certain size or configured to be limited by a certain value. While there are many possible system resources that can take up memory, this paper attempts to identify some of the common misconfigured HP-UX resources and how they impact your system. There are many reasons why an HP-UX resource may be misconfigured. The most common reason is that customer environments are unique.
