SAM message when changing kernel parameter

[John Walker_1]

I am changing the large_ncargs_enabled
parameter to 1, via SAM, but on a few sites am receiving a message saying:
'SAM has no knowledge of the minimum and maximum settings for this parameter'.

It advises caution as the new kernel may not rebuild correctly.
The new kernels are rebuilding ok, but where does this message come from, ie what is it referencing as I dont get it for all sites.

Hi,

here is the information from HP Electronic Support Center:

*****************************************
Problem Description

What is the impact of changing the kernel parameter
"large_ncargs_enabled" from 0 to 1?

What is the meaning of this parameter?

Configuration Info

Operating System - HPUX
Version-
Hardware System - HP 9000
Series -

Solution
When large_ncargs_enabled is set to "1", it increases the default
"environment size" (the memory set aside to be your login
environment - to hold your PATH variable, etc.) from 20478 to
2048000. SAM doesn't have any info about this parm or any max/minvalue.
*****************************************

And then how to change it:
A5859323 - Sys Adm: the parameter list is too long

Anyway I'd guess that you are doing it on an HP-UX 10.20 system, because it doesn't exist in 11.X.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Ettore
