Hi,
A customer is having diffculty in running autogen for his two new
A8400 with 4GB of memory.
Autogen keep reducing the balsetcnt. In the past with 2 A2100 with
1GB of memory they were able to support more than 250 users and now
they are trying to increase this figure but autogen does not allow it.
I've seen some articles on comet regarding this problem and vaxes,
asking users to hardcode the wsmax. Does this also apply on the ALPHAs.
Customer current config is 2 A8400 with 4GB and one DEC7720 with
1.2GB in a cluster. All nodes running V6.2-1H3.

| 519.1 | Upgrade to VLM-Capable (64 bit) Release... | XDELTA::HOFFMAN | Steve, OpenVMS Engineering | Thu Apr 24 1997 10:26 | 10 |
All OpenVMS VAX releases, and OpenVMS Alpha releases prior to V7.0, are limited by the system memory management design to a maximum size for the page tables, and this size is derived from the maximum number of processes expected and the maximum virtual address space expected. If the customer wants to use large numbers of processes and large virtual address spaces, then the customer will want to upgrade to OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 or later. (I'd go directly to V7.1, the current OpenVMS release.) | |||||
