maxswapchunks in hp-ux 11i

[Rommel T. Misa_2]

Hello guys...

I am installing Oracle 10g on an rx4640 with HP-UX 11i. One of the kernel parameters which needs modification is maxswapchunks. But when I tried to modify it using SAM, I can't see the maxswapchunks parameter. Do I need to add this manually? If so, how should I do it?

Hope you can help. Thanks.

What is the o/p of

#kmtune | grep -i maxswap

Does that show maxswapchunks

Is the maxswapchunks in /stand/system file.

#grep -i maxswap < /stand/system
If it is there then you should be able to do that in SAM

If that is not possible try it from command line.

Thanks,
Siva

Hi,
on my 11i system:
SAM -> Kernel Configuration -> Configurable Parameters

Use the File -> Search option to look for the maxswapchunks ( my value is 16384 with 10g )

For explanation of parameter:
http://docs.hp.com/en/939/KCParms/KCparam.MaxSwapChunks.html

What version of 11i are you on? If it is 11iv2 (also known as 11.23) then there is NOT a maxswapchunks parameter any more.

It has been obsoleted. There is NO way to add it as it is no longer needed.

Rommel,

In this document located in the ITRC site you will find some HP official documentation that maxswapchucks is not longer supported on 11.23:
