running kernel, parametres

[CPHVF-U Guard]

Hi.
I want the value of "semmap" and "sema" in the running kernel. How do I get it?

kmtune -q maxusers : 400
kmtune -q nproc : ((10*maxusers)/3)+128 = 1461
kmtune -q semmni : (NPROC*2) = 2922

kmtune -q semmap : (SEMMNI+2) = 2924
sysdef | grep semmap : 191430656

kmtune -q sema : 1
sysdef | grep sema : 0

Which command should I use?

sysdef is an 'old' 10.20 tool.

you should use kmtune as the manual says:

sysdef will not be supported in
the future releases of HP-UX. So users are advised to use kmtune(1M)
utility which provides additional information on kernel tunable

Hi
Use kmtune or adb or use SAM. We earlier got wrong values from sysdef

...BPK...

Moreover, you can always try this command to check for Kernel params values:
#more /stand/build/tune.h |grep -i semmap

[Praveen Bezawada]

you can use adb as

`echo "physmem/D" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

I were to fast ....

# echo "semmap/D" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
Error from elf64_getehdr(application core file)
Not an Elf file: No Elf header
semmap:
semmap: 191430656

#echo "sema/D" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
Error from elf64_getehdr(application core file)
Not an Elf file: No Elf header
sema:
sema: 0

If these values are correct, then I can't trust kmtune, or?
The values match sysdef.
(By the way, it is HP-UX 11.00)
