kernel parameter

[Ridzuan Zakaria]

Hi,

Is there any commands on HPUX that allow us to view all the tuneable kernel parameters and their current values apart from viewing the /stand/system file?

Thanks.

On 11.x the command is kmtune; there is also the older sysdef command. Man kmtune for details.

in 10.x use sysdef

with 11.0 and above you can use kmtune command. Remember kmtune requires /stand/system to be present. If /stand/system is not current, use

# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s /stand/system

to create the system file before using kmtune command.

SAM -> Kernel Configuration -> Configurable Parameters can also be used.

Yes as told above i think kmtune is the most suitable command for u.

#kmtune
This gives you Parameter and value set for that parameter.
whereas
#kmtune -l
This gives you all other related attributes of the parameter as well like:
Parameter:
Value:
Default:
Minimum:
Module:

Most kernel parameters that you would want to consider changing can be done via 'sam'.

Hello,
Best solution I have found (and safest so I don't muck up a file) is using SAM ...
this works for 10.20, 11.00, 11.11 so it's the best solution I know of ...
# sam
select Kernel Configuration
select Configurable Kernel Parameters
