110.0. "DECterm ACCVIOlates " by VISA::BIJAOUI (Tomorrow Never Knows) Thu Feb 02 1989 11:32

    Ahem... Sorry if this has been already reported, but we've had the
    following problem recently on one of the satellites of your V5.1 SDC
    LAVc:

110.1reported as QAR - try this as workaroundATLAST::BOUKNIGHTW. Jack BouknightThu Feb 02 1989 19:4553
    This is reported as QAR 608.
    
    We finally found the right set of SYSGEN parameters to set up to
    make it work.  The problem appears to be insufficient bullet proofing
    in the session manager when resources run out (which ones we don't
    know).
    
    Here are the final SYSGEN parameters we finally come up with to
    make DECwindows work:
    
!
! Site specific AUTOGEN data file.  In a VAXcluster where a common system
! disk is being used, this file should reside in SYS$SPECIFIC:<SYSEXE>,
! not a common system directory.
!
! Add modifications that you wish to make to AUTOGEN's hardware configuration
! data, system parameter calculations, and page, swap, and dump file sizes to 
! the bottom of this file.

110.2Probably GBLPAGFILXANADU::MILLERBush For President...Kate Bush!Fri Feb 03 1989 05:297
    Same happened for me and it was a bogus GBLPAGFIL.  Must be at least
GBLPAGFIL=6024

110.3just checking ALL parameters ...YIPPEE::BUXTONSteve Buxton - EAITG ValbonneTue Sep 05 1989 08:498
    RE : .1
    
    Excuse my ignorance but .... was MPGFLQUOTA a typo ? what should it
    have been ??

110.4A misprunt?QUICHE::PITTSuspend all hackers ... by the neck!Wed Sep 06 1989 05:2810
I suspect that the author of .1 intended PQL_MPGFLQUOTA instead of MPGFLQUOTA.
If I'm right, then there are two possibilities:

1) It was mis-copied into notes, in which case AUTOGEN is doing its stuff based
on a setting of PQL_MPGFLQUOTA.
2) This is the actual ModParams.Dat, in which case this line is being ignored by
AUTOGEN, and the setting of PQL_MPGFLQUOTA is not being affected by ModParams.
