HP CIFS Server Administrator's Guide (5900-1282, April 2011)

2048 or about 8 GB of swap space would be required. Therefore, HP recommends configuring
enough swap space to accommodate the maximum number of simultaneous clients connected to
the HP CIFS server.
Memory Requirements
Each smbd process will need approximate 4 MB of memory on 11i v2. For 2048 clients, therefore,
the system should have at least 8 GB of physical memory on 11i v2. This is over and above the
requirements of other applications that will be running concurrent with HP CIFS.
