SUT Notes

All file systems are HP-UX HFS
1 disk used for OS
1 disk used for /spec
1 disk mounted read-only used for the file_set
1 disk with 64KB block size (def. 8KB) and 8KB fragments (def. 1KB)
mounted with largefiles, behind options used for logs
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
