topic kernel parameters in Operating System - HP-UX

kernel parameters

Daniel Ubeda — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 17:01:44 GMT

Hi,

I know how to view the kernel parameters in an HP machine, but I need to do the same in a Sun machine.
How can I do that ??
In the /etc/system there are 3 or 4 parameters setting for me, but I need to know all parameters.

Thanks

the command kmtune is missing .....

# find / -name kmtune
#

maybe I need to install a package ?

thanks

# sysdef -i will also give kernel parameters.

HP-UX and Sun Solaris have different adminstrative commands, but you can try to use UNIX95 commands on both. However, the kernel parameters themselves and their values, will be very different, so I don't think you will get far with one approach to both operating systems.
