MAXDSIZ value

[Anand_30]

Can anyone please tell me how can I obtain the value for the maxdsiz parameter in my HP-UX10.20 machine. I need to know what is the value that is set for MAXDSIZ in my machine

not sure but.

kmtune

kmtune | grep -i maxdsiz

I am not 100% certain kmtune is on 10.20

Otherwise try

sam
kernel
configurable parameters

Hi

You can use:
# sysdef | grep maxdsiz
(HP 10.20 doesn't have kmtune)

If that doesn't work use SAM
Kernel Configuration -> Confiurable Parameters.

Hi Con,

Thanks for the rely. I was able to use sysdef in my machine. The output shows something like this:

maxdsiz 131072 - 256-655360 Pages -

Can you please tell me how do I interpret this. What is the value of the maxdsiz for my machine.

Anand.

The value fro maxdsiz is 131072 pages. Multiply it by 4096 and you will have your answer in bytes.

The answer ends up being 512Mb.

Hi

This shows your maxdsiz is set at 524288K (131072 x 4K).

If you type sysdef |more the first line will give you the sysdef column headings.
