sam kernel print_info file.

[jerry1]

Would anyone out there happen to have or
could make me a kernel output file from sam
for HP-UX 11.11 from a system that has not had it's kernel params changed since OS install. The default file name is print_info in sam, but you can call it whatever you want.
I need this for a starting baseline of kernel
changes over time. I neglected to make one
before changes were made from the clean starting point of the HP-UX 11.11 OS install.

Jerry,

I'm in a position to provide what you ask, but I'm not sure what it is you're looking for. How does one go about creating this "print_info" file?

In sam you select:

Kernel -> Configurable
Configuration Parameters

Then under menu File -> Print

Select file button then enter filename or
use the default if you like. The dir path
will default to the dir path you launched
sam from.

Would greatly appreciate the file Pete.

Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,

Here you go! I checked the /stand/system file and the only parameter I see that might have been modified is "nstrpty 60".

Pete, this is strange. Each data column is
slightly offset between my file and your
file. Also, sam produces an extra blank line
after each row in my file. Did you use sam to
create the kernel data file or did you use
some other means to create your data file?
The reason I ask is that I cannot do a true
diff unless I edit one or the other to make them match up to get a true diff.

Cheers.

Jerry,

I used SAM exactly as you described. Here's another, just created. Maybe there will be a difference.

Well, I guess this is not going to work.
I have 53 additional kern parms than yours
and I forgot that if you change one parm
that is used in a formula for another then
that would throw the numbers off as far
as doing a true comparison.

Make a note to self.

MAKE A COPY OF ORIGINAL KERNAL PARMS
BEFORE MAKING CHANGES!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!

Jerry,

Have you tried looking at the /stand/system file? Anything you've changed is appended on the end. It won't tell you what the original value was but will point out what was changed.
