Pre Setting Kernel Parameters

Regina Mitchell — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:57:18 GMT

I have a RX6600 PA-RISC server running 11.23.
Without using SAM, what are the manual commands to change a kernel parameter value and save it to the nesxt scheduled reboot?

All replies are appreciated.

Hi Regina,

You can use the kctune command.

Thanks. I am asking because someone tried to pre set semaphore values by modifying /stand/systems, thinking that that would work?

I've always used SAM to set kernel paramters. This is the why I'm asking.

Shalom,

An rx6600 running PA-RISC? No, I would say that one is running an Itanium Processor.

kctune can be used on the fly to make adjustments in the dynamic parameters. It can also be part of a process that recompile a new kernel, moves it to production and boots the system.

kctune I will use for modifying parameters. Thanks again.
