Adding VTYs
If there are not enough pseudo terminals on the HP-UX server, you can add new
pseudo terminals by modifying the system file as follows:
1 Launch sam.
# sam
2 Select [Kernel Configuration].
3 Select [Configurable Parameters].
Change the value of the npty parameter to 256.
4 Compile the kernel.
5 Reboot the device.
Now, the number of pseudo terminals is 256 in the directories /dev/pty and
/dev/ptym.
Link the added devices to /dev as follows:
# ln /dev/pty/ttyy0 /dev/ttyy0
# ln /dev/ptym/ptyy0 /dev/ptyy0
Modifying the maximum number of processes supported by the system
By default, the HP-UX server supports up to 664 processes. If a Unix server is to be
connected with many terminals (usually more than 50), change the value to 2000.
To do so, use the following commands:
# sam
After entering the menu interface, select [kernel configuration] to enter the
submenu, and then select [configurable parameters] and change the value of
[nproc] to 2000.
After modification, you must reboot the server to bring your configuration into
effect. You do not need to change other system kernel parameters.
