Kernel Parm

[Alvin_15]

Could someone help me with trying to acquire the kernel parameters for a box.
I need two things.
1. Parm #'s
2. Parm forumal's

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If HP-UX 11.X, use the kmtune command.

kmtune

Man kmtune for details.

Hi,

It is kctune in HPUx 11.23. Allthough a wrapper script is provided with name kmtune as well.

GUI interface kcweb is there in 11.23. Whereas in 11i SAM can also be used for this.

HTH,
Devender

Hi Alvin ,

to change the kernel parameter you can do through command prompt.

Ex: to set the maxfiles to 2048
# kmtune -s maxfiles=2048
# ./mk_kernel
# kmupdate
# shutdown -r -y 0

Also check this doc from hp site, Tunable_Kernel_Parameters.pdf for further details of Kernel parameters and their usuage.

Hope this will help,
Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,
# sam
Kernel configuration
Configurable parameter

This is menu driven and should ease you parameter value changing.

You can also use "kmtune" and have look at man kmadmin, man mk_kernel, man kmupdate etc.

Hope that helps.
