How to list all kernel parameters ?

[Mark Smith T-Systems]

I want to compare the kernels of 2 servers, I can scroll through them all in SAM but what is the easiest way to list them so that I can copy & paste them into a document ?

[MarkSyder]

If you have ignite installed, /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

Mark Syder (like the drink but spelt different)

[erics_1]

kctune for 11.23
kmtune for 11.11

Maybe I should have said I am running 11.00 on that server

[Sandman!]

# /usr/sbin/sysdef

[Sandman! · Accepted solution]

and btw kmtune(1M) is available in 11.0 systems:

# /usr/sbin/kmtune

[erics_1]

I recall sysdef was not recommended for use after 10.20. It's not accurate.

I'd advise you to compare kmtune and sysdef output on that system. I think you'll find you have differences in what's being reported. sysdef is not accurate at 11.x. Only on 10.20. Use kmtune.

If sysdef worked fine for you, shouldn't you have given sandman 10 points?

I dont see all of the tunable parameter with sysdef or kmtune, I notice that shmax is not listed in either output, now I wonder how many others are not listed

[Mark Smith T-Systems]

sorry, i see shmax now in the kmtune.

Hi Mark:

Beginning with 11.0, 'sysdef' is deprecated. Worse still, if may not always correctly reflect what 'kmtune' shows since 'sysdef' was not always updated to relect kernel changes brought along with patches and new releases. I strongly urge you to use 'kmtune' and then 'kctune' beginning with 11.23.

Regards!
