Hi

For 11.11 you can use:
#kmtune

and 11.23

#kctune

Hiya,

On 11.11 you can use the kmtune command:

# kmtune -q param # to check
# kmtune -s param=value # to set

On 11.23 and up you can use kctune:

# kctune param # to check
# kctune param=value # to set

Check the man pages of kmtune and kctune for more detailed info.

Cheers,
Wout

You can use the cmmnd "kmtune"

#kmtune -s =

There should not be space between the kernel tunable and the value.
look at # man kmtune for more details.

The manuals make this stuff pretty clear... here's the docs for 11.23:

And here for 11.11:

When you want a quick check to see
your tuned values

usage: sysdef [kernel-file [master-file]]

Just for your reference,

kmtune -s shmmax=4294967296
kmtune -s semmns=4200
# system-wide number of processes limit (NPROC) or the per-user number of processes (MAXUPRC)
kmtune -s nproc=4200
kmtune -s maxuprc=800
# view parameter
kmtune -q shmmax
kmtune -q semmns
kmtune -q nproc
kmtune -q maxuprc
# init.ora process=100

for hp-ux 11.23,
kctune nproc=4200

Hi Biju,

For PA-RISC(11.11) command is kmtune
ie:kmtune kval=value

for Itanium servers command is kctune
ie:kctune kval=value
