The command you want is 'kmtune'.

# kmtune

kctune is what you need for 11.23 and on.

Hi,

u can use

# sysdef

it will analyze the currently running system and reports
on its tunable configuration parameters.

In case you are interested, there is an unsupported tool called nickel which collect the current system information of your server. The running of the script will produce a tar ball which contain the system info including kernel param values & patch level etc.

I attached nickel.zip for yr review/usage. Hope it helps.

You can also use the sysinfo-dc tool. It can be downloaded for the following web link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysinfo-dc/
