How to configure/view maxuprc & nproc parameters ?

[J Ramesh Kumar]

Hi,

My HPUX os version is B.11.11. I would like to view & configure maxuprc & nproc parameters. Kindly help me to configure & view the above parameters.

Thanks,
Ramesh

Use kmtune - http://docs.hp.com/en/B9106-90008/kmtune.1M.html

either you can use kmtune or SAM.

Hi Ivan & Ahsan,

Thanks for the help. I tried to change the value as 1000 for nproc using the following command,

kmtune -s nproc=1000

After that, I have seen the following output for the "kmtune -q nproc", (ie) current value as 276 and planned value 1000.

# kmtune -l -q nproc
Parameter: nproc
Current: 276
Planned: 1000
Default: (20+8*MAXUSERS)
Minimum: -
Module: -
Version: -
Dynamic: No
#

I expected that the current value will be changed to 1000 once I reboot the m/c. But it is not happening. I got the same output even I reboot the HPUX system. (ie) current value as 276 and planned value as 1000. Am I missing anything ?

Thanks,
Ramesh

kmtune is ok to get the values
you need to rebuild kernel to set up the planned values so the easiest way to do so is to use sam to process all for you

Hi Ivan, Ahsan & Fabien,

It is working fine if I use sam tool. Thanks for your help in resolving this issue.

Thx,

Read the manpage on kmtune...

-s sets the new parm amount
-u updates the kernel

Hi Ramesh,

If you are using kmtune,you have to use mk_kernel to create new kernel under /stand/build directory and then kmupdate to move the kernel to /stand.
