Hi,
I've got a 4100 running 6.2-1H3 it's been up for just over 200 hours
with very little activity. I thought it about time to run Autogen. This
was run from GETDATA - SETPARAMS, at a convenient time over the weekend
it was then rebooted.
It failed to BOOT with a SYSBOOT-W-ALOHUGEPAGE error and just kept
looping. The system was then halted. I did a conversational boot and
checked the GH_* params. I then set them back to the defaults. Rebooted
and the system cam up ok.
I checked the AGEN$PARAMS.REPORT file and noticed the following changes
made by AUTOGEN
GH_EXEC_CODE
Feedback Information
Old value was 512, New value is 1024
GH_EXEC_DATA
Feedback Information
Old value was 128, New value is 112
GH_RES_CODE
Feedback Information
Old value was 1024, New value is 1024
Any ideas why Autogen resized GH_EXEC_CODE to a higher value and why
did it cause the system to become unbootable.
Many thanks
Daryl.

See note 118 in VMSNOTES_V12 for an explanation of the boot failure.
Autogen will increase the GH_* values if there was an allocation
failure from the GH regions during the bootstrap. It basically means
that you've loaded more execlets than can fit in 512 pages. When there
is no more room in the GH regions the execlets get loaded differently.
So, the system will run fine, you just won't take advantage of the
granularity hint stuff for those last few execlets.
