NAME
enable_idds - enable intrusion detection data source VALUES
Failsafe Default Allowed values or Recommended values if HP-UX HIDS is installed, otherwise. DESCRIPTION
From HP-UX 11i Version 3 onwards, the tunable is replaced by the dynamic tunable audit_track_paths(5). If is set to then the HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System (HP-UX HIDS) can enable the collection of kernel data for intrusion detection. This also causes additional things to be tracked by the kernel, resulting in a small degradation in performance (and increase in kernel memory usage), even if HP-UX HIDS is not in use. Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable? Anyone using HP-UX HIDS. Restrictions on Changing Changes to this tunable take effect at the next reboot. When Should the Tunable Be Turned On? This tunable should be turned on if HP-UX HIDS is installed. The installation will automatically turn on What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On? The name of the current working directory (and root directory) of every process is tracked, resulting in a change in memory usage and per- formance of the system. When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off? If HP-UX HIDS is not being used should be turned off. What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off? When turned off, HP-UX HIDS is unable to use any detection template that uses (See the documentation for HP-UX HIDS for more information on What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time? This tunable is independent of other tunables. WARNINGS
This tunable has been replaced by All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release-specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX. Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.

remote_nfs_swap(5)						File Formats Manual						remote_nfs_swap(5)

NAME
remote_nfs_swap - enable swapping across NFS VALUES
Default Allowed values DESCRIPTION
This tunable controls adding a NFS filesystem for use as swap. If is set to only local filesystems and devices can be used for swap. If it is set to both local and networked file systems can be used for swap. Historically, this tunable was used in NFS clusters that are no longer supported, but this capability has not yet been removed. Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable? Anyone. Restrictions on Changing Changes to this tunable take effect on the next boot. When Should the Tunable Be Turned On? Almost never. As previously mentioned, this tunable was designed for systems which are not in use today. Only systems with extremely robust NFS capabilities should even consider using NFS for swap. What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On? If the value is set to and a NFS partition is added as swap, then some kernel memory will be set aside for NFS transactions to the swap file system. The kernel will then use the NFS swap partition just the same as a local file system. If the NFS capabilities of the system are not robust, this could lead to extremely long swap times (both swap in and swap out), and possibly a loss of memory because all the reserved memory and more could be used by NFS (just when memory pressure is high) causing the need for swap. When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off? Unless you are positive that the NFS system can handle the load of being used as swap, and does not have a local file system or disk drive to spare, this tunable should be set to What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off? Any previously defined NFS swap filesystems will no longer be allowed. Kernel memory will not be reserved for NFS transactions due to swap. What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time? None. WARNINGS
