Hi BKB,

You can use # glance -t to monitor the system table parameters.

System Table Available Used Utilization High(%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proc Table (nproc) 4096 105 3 3
File Table (nfile) 8202 467 6 6
Shared Mem Table (shmmni) 512 8 2 2
Message Table (msgmni) 512 2 0 0
Semaphore Table (semmni) 4096 24 1 1
File Locks (nflocks) 2048 17 1 1
Pseudo Terminals (npty) 200 0 0 0
Buffer Headers (nbuf) na 52428 na na

--------------------------------------------

Also try sar -v , to monitor the system table utilisation from command prompt.

You can check the other parameters from glance advisor_only mode, check the glance metrix.txt file for details.

Cheers,
Raj.

Dear tankkapan,

To view oir set kernel parameter you can use kmtune (command line).
Or you can use SAM > kernel configuration > configurable parameter.

You also need check user limit, using ulimit -a

Thx,

Hi Tankkapan,

To check value of kernel parameters you can use "kmtune" , "glance -t" or can use "sam".

You can use 'glance -t' to check the utilization of kernel parameters.

HP use to give a utility called "pst" also to monitor such parameters. You can run that and this utiltiy shall get the utlization of kernel parameters every minute into a log file.

Thanks
