Duplicate kernel settings on one machine to another

f. halili — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:53:08 GMT

Finished working on kernel settings on one host. I would like to duplicate these exact settings so I can use it on another host. I always kctune and compare one host to another and make the changes on 2nd host. I saw an example before that you can copy the kernel settings and use it on another machine. Looks like that's an easier way.

Any thoughts?

thanks,

Hi:

It's really your choice.

A good reference is:

Using 11.31.

so as easy as:

On source system:

kconfig -e mykernel

copy the file mykernel to the destination system and then:

kconfig -i mykernel

Might need to reboot if you've changed static parameters...

That's it!
