Which kernel subset are these in?

[Blake Roberts]

Good morning,

I am in the process of verifying a couple of kernel parameters for use with Openview Operations. Unforutnately, I cannot remember which subsystem these two exist in.

nfile (max number of open files)
nflocks (file locks)

Of course, I am fairly positive these are not the real names of the subsets, as most application documentation goes with the Solaris or HP-UX name of the kernel parameter, instead of the Tru64 name. The other parameters all lurk in the ipc subsystem (semaphores, message queues, etc). I've looked for these in there, but I don't see them.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

File parameters that you are looking for a are part of kernel "vfs" subsystem.
I think they goes by the names max_vnodes, for max. no. of open files and may be nlock_record, for the record locks.
Following commands for more details,
# sysconfig -q vfs
# man sys_attrs_vfs

HTH,
Abdul.

Hi Blake,

There is no comparison in Tru64 for these parameters, you can check it on this page(Near the end of the page)

Thanks for the quick replies. I can see where the vfs parameters may be the match, but I also like that HP-UX matrix. It was obvious that those were the parameters that HP wrote into their preinstall tasks for this.

Thanks for the help,
