SUT Notes

1 (36 GB 10K RPM) disk with vxfs used for OS
1 (36 GB 10K RPM) disk with hfs used for the file_set
1 (18 GB 15K RPM) disk with hfs with largefiles, behind used for logs
Largefiles is an option used when making the hfs file system. When this
option is used, the maximum size for the files created on the file system
is not limited to the 2 GB limit.
Behind is an option used when mounting the hfs file system. This enables asynchronous
writes to disk.
Bound each Zeus instance to the processor corresponding to its NIC
Bound cgi instance to the processor corresponding to NIC with lighter load (See Client Notes)
Processor binding is performed by: mpsched -c cpu# -p pid
Set page size attribute for zeus.web and zeus.cgi binaries
chatr +pd 64k +pi 64k zeus.cgi
chatr +pd 64M +pi 64M zeus.web
