HP Large Objects System Management Manual
HP Large Objects System Management Manual – 543599.001 
Appendix B – Parms 
The parameter or parm table contains the values that determine how the Large Object 
scheme performs. Values of the parms must not be changed once the BuddyGroup 
they relate to is active. The BuddyGroup is active once the first BuddySet is created 
for that group. Parm values should only be changed using SetBuddyGroupParm. 
The  metaData.sh script establishes a set of default parameters to cover an entire 
installation of the Large Object system. The list below show which parameters can be 
overridden at BuddyGroup level.
