Creating my own kernel template file on HP-UX 11

[Mats Sjöblom]

Hi!

I wanna apply the same kernel parameters on serveral servers.
Is it possible to create my own "kernel parameter template file" on the "template" server, then copy this file to another server, and then use the option "Load a Template File ..." in sam (menu "Kernel Configuration")? How?

Regards // Mats Sj?blom

Hi,
I woulnd use sam for this:

I would generate the template:
cd /stand/build
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
vi system # modify the params
and use rdist to copy system in :/stand/build

then all each system I would generate a new kernel using a script which would contain:
cd /stand/build
/usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s system
...


All the best

I would agree with Victor. I would also add that you'll need to be careful, as the values set for parameters are dependant on hardware/application/usage etc.. So unless it is a standard system you may still have to make changes.
