Kernel Parameters & dumpsize

[Siva K. Vejalla]

Hi!

What is the 11.0 equivalent of Kernel Parameter dumpsize (10.20)?
In 10.20, dumpsize is valid parameter and I can't find that variable in 11.0.

Where can I find what each Kernel Parameters mean? I got the list of variables in /tmp/kern.parms as the output below shows. But what does each parameter mean?

# adb in case of 10.20 and 32 bit 11.0

root=> adb64 -k -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem $>/tmp/kern.parms
$e
$q
root=>

Any info is appreciated.

TIA,
Siva

Hi:

There are two good sources of information for kernel parameters, their values and ranges, and what they do.

1. SAM has good inbuilt help text.

2. A very good document is:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/KCparams.OverviewAll.html

3. You can also execute 'sysdef' to see your current configuration values.

Hi:

One more note. I don't know of a kernel parameter named "dumpsize". However, look at "alwaysdump", "dontdump", "initmodmax" and "modstrmax" in the document I cited in the post above.
