System Crashes or Panics
The system may crash after installing the MUX cards. Table 2-6 describes the cause of this problem, and also
describes how to troubleshoot this problem.
Table 2-6 System Crashes or Panics
Problem Cause Action
Your system crashes or panics
when MUX cards are
installed.
The number of ports and the
processes increase after
installing the MUX cards.
Because of the increase in work
load, system crashes or panics.
System kernel parameters may
require modification.
Fine tuning your kernel is
site-dependent. It depends on the
number of users on your system,
what applications they are running,
and your computer’s hardware
configuration.
See your system administration
manuals for information on how to
change the HP-UX kernel
parameters.
