For those few kernel parameters it is showing you:
Highest value used in that sample period/maximum value allowed by the kernel.
ov=number of times you overflowed
If this covers the time period when cpio failed running we can say that you have not exceeded:
Processes
S5 inodes
Open files
File locks
The file locks value is one that can blow during cpio backups. Maybe the reason that the maximum value is set so high.
I don't recognise your exact sar display, but there is much variation.
Afterthought. Is the tape full?

dnlc_hash_locks
dnlc_hash_locks(5) File Formats Manual dnlc_hash_locks(5)
NAME
dnlc_hash_locks - number of locks for the Directory Name Lookup Cache (DNLC)
VALUES
Failsafe
Default
Allowed values
The minimum value allowed is The maximum value allowed is The value is further constrained in that it must be be a power of 2, and it must
be equal to or less than one-eighth the number of DNLC entries Specify a positive integer value.
DESCRIPTION
To speed up the search through directories in the kernel, there is a memory resident cache of directories called the During a filename
lookup in the kernel, any directories or files encountered are retained in the DNLC for future reference. The DLNC is managed in a Least
Recently Used fashion. The dictates the number of lock groups that will be used to manage the directory entries in the DNLC hash chains.
Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
HP-UX system administrators.
Restrictions on Changing
This tunable is static. Any changes to the value of this tunable require a system reboot before taking effect.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
The value may need to be raised to reduce lock contention and improve filename lookup performance when running applications which require
large numbers of file name accesses.
What are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
More system memory will be consumed to allocate locks for the DNLC.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
The value can be lowered to limit the number of locks allocated for the DNLC and to reduce memory consumption.
What are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
Less system memory will be consumed for the DNLC locks upon system reboot. Operations requiring filename lookup (for example, (see
open(2)) may experience performance degradation.
What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
The value of must be equal to or greater than eight times the value of
WARNINGS
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. For information about the effects of installation on tun-
able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was
factory installed on your system, see at
