About This Document

This white paper provides an explanation of the system registry hive and its limitations, and
gives some methods for managing those limitations. The opinions in this document may suit
some environments more than others.

Intended Audience

This document is intended for system architects and administrators responsible for managing
HP Integrity servers. Architects and administrators are expected to know operating system
concepts, commands, and configuration, as well as networking concepts and configuration. Some
manipulation of the system registry file is necessary, so a familiarity with the Registry Editor
application (RegEdit) is required. You should also be able to liaise with different departments
in your organization, such as the Storage Area Networks (SAN) group, specialist application
groups, and Change Management/Documentation departments.
