Kernel Parameters not visible in SAM

Hi,
In a system running HPUX 11.11 , some of the parameters are not visible in SAM , but same parameters are visible with command kmtune.

For comparison these do not show on my 11.11 servers either with SAM Patch PHCO_32397.

I do not use SAM for anything so I am not worrying about it..

That is fine . But SAM is helpful for setting Formulas for Parameters.

Yes, these parameters are not visible from SAM.

These parameters do not have any value specified, may be that's why not visible in SAM

I think may be these parameters do not have any formula ( just a guess )

Thanks

BTW, these all look to be undocumented as well. The offical 11.11 kernel params book does not mention any of these. (maybe reason #2 that they do not show in SAM ?)

Hi All ,
This does not seems to be issue as all these parameters are visible in other HPUX system in SAM.
