list kernel parameters

Huyen Nguyen — Fri, 03 Aug 2001 15:40:46 GMT

How do you list kernel parameters on the command line and not have to go through SAM?

(i.e. save the list of kernel parameters into a file?)

Thanks

Hi
Use sysdef...

All the best

Use kmtune(1m) or sysdef(1m).

Hi Huyen,

File /var/sam/boot.config

Each section is for one parameter within the kernel. Each entry in a section describe that parameter.

You may consider entries :

KC_PARAM_NAME= -> Paramater name
KC_PARAM_STATUS= -> Actual value
KC_PARAM_DEFAULT= -> hp-ux default value just after installation.
KC_PARAM_CLASS= -> Which class the parameter is depending on (filesystem, ...).
KC_PARAM_DESC= -> Text explaining the parameter.

Magdi.

Hi,

Use kmtune -l
or
kmtune -S /stand/system

This should help

Thanks

HI
Commands sysdef or kmtune -l will give you details.
Also if you have sysinfo installed on your machine, it will give you all system information including kernel parameters.

Thanks.

Hi,

'kmtune' and 'sysdef' work well on HP-UX 11, but 'kmtune' doesn't exist on on HP-UX 10.20

Lemme add one more

/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s /tmp/system

/tmp/system file will have the current and non-default kernel parameters

/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s does not show
all the kernel settings at all. What it does
show are the drivers that are currently loaded
in the kernel and system parameters that have been changed from the default. On HP-UX 11 the output of kmtune -l shows both the default and current values of the configureable parameters.

Certainly True!! Kmtune is da king.

I only added one more command that touches kernel parameters in addition to kmtune, sysdef (again doesn't show all parameters).
