how to dump the kernel parameter?

[Kenneth Leung_2]

I would like to dump all the kernel parameter of an existing server & pass it to HP engineer for a new server installation. Can I do it in HPUX 11i?? Please help. Thanks

The command you want is 'kmtune'.

# kmtune

kctune is what you need for 11.23 and on.

Hi,


u can use

# sysdef


it will analyze the currently running system and reports
on its tunable configuration parameters.

$ swlist -l product PH*

You can also use the following if you want more details:
$ swlist -l patch

In case you are interested, there is an unsupported tool called nickel which collect the current system information of your server. The running of the script will produce a tar ball which contain the system info including kernel param values & patch level etc.

I attached nickel.zip for yr review/usage. Hope it helps.

You can also use the sysinfo-dc tool. It can be downloaded for the following web link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysinfo-dc/
