Kernel Configuration

[Bobcat_1]

Hello,
My customer,are in the process of installing an application onto Tru64 Unix V5.1B and requesting for modifying kernel parameters on ipc subsystem.
The settings which is required are as follows -

msg-map=400
msg-ssz=8
msg-seg=32767

Have checked using 'sysconfig -Q ipc' and also from the running kernel (using dbx ), but the above attributes does not appear in the ipc subsystem. Are these attributes still valid ? or is there something that I'm missing ?

Also, the application vendor has pointed us to this url for clarification ,

Thanks.

These parameters are not Tru64 5.1B related.
The following applies to all Tru64 Unix versions:

**MSGSSZ - size of a message segment in bytes

This parameter is part of the IPC tunning parameters. In Tru64 Unix, this parameter is msg-max


***MSGSEG - number of message segments in the system

This parameter has no equivalent, this number grows dynamically in Tru64 Unix.

forgot msg-map:

msg-map is not implemented, a function of (msg_tql + 2)

sorry but it seems your vendor told you the parameters for the wrong operating system.

does my answer give you a clue what must be changed on a Tru64 system?
