Kernel Parameters

Hello Gurus,

I having problems of any kernel parameter. Is there any tool to monitor the current state of kernel parameters . Glance does not say the value of all of them . Apart of it , do you have any rule to adjust the kernel parameters of oracle?

Regards

Re: Kernel Parameters

To check kernel parameters:

sam -> kernel configuration -> configurable parameters.

Re: Kernel Parameters

I mean the current state , not the maximum value of a kernel parametere

Re: Kernel Parameters

Hi Javier,

The kmtune command will show you all current kernel values.

I'm not sure about the rules for Oracle. Sorry.

Re: Kernel Parameters

Hi,
You may want to have a look at the contents of /stand/system file.

Have a look at "http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:454420165038" and "forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/ forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=847351".

These should give you some help.

Re: Kernel Parameters

The set kernel parameters can be checked with kmtune/sysdef/sam

The current usage of them (not all) can be monitored as follows

glance -t
sar -v 5 5

If you are on 11.23, you almost can monitor the usage of them all. (Check kc commands.)

Re: Kernel Parameters

Hi

You can use kmtune command which will help you, some configured values can be seen on /stand/system file.
Generally oracle has a set of standard kernel parameter which they need to be set(some/most of them) would not follow the rule for which you can hard code it.
