SAM NOT SHOWING CONFIGURED KERNAL PARAMETERS

[Sanjeev_2]

Hi,

We have loaded HP Ignite UX 11.0 and configured kernel parameters. After loading Glance plus we are unable to see the configured kernel parameter in SAM. Is there any lknon patch available for the same. We have loded June 2001 patch bundel.

Hi Sanjeev,

What do you mean when you say "sam is not showing the configured kernel parameters". Do you mean you are unable to enter into the Configured kernel parameter sub menu under the sam menu or do you mean to say that sam is not displaying the kernel parameter modification made by you. If it is the second case, maybe you made the modification but did not rebuild the kernel.

Hope this helps.

Hi

Before anything else cat the file /stand/system,
at the bottom it will show configured param settings - do these agree with what you think you have.

Hi,

I have configured the Kernel Paramenter and rebuild the kernel, system was working ok. But now i want to configure some other paramenters but the same is not shown in the kernel configurable paramenter, there are some 25 parameter but what i have configured earlier are not available in the menu.

In /stand/system iam able to see those parameters

Hi Sanjeev,

sam takes the kernel parameter from the directory /usr/conf/master.d/* and the permission are r-xr-xr-x. Give this a try.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sanjeev,

You can also try to run a "swverify" for the OS-Core filesets. In case the same returns with errors, you may have to reinstall the Os-Core fileset.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks Sanjay,

Sw verify has shown error in some of the OS core file sets.

But i would like to know, how this has happened since we have loaded the OS 2 days back only.

If any one can tell, what could be the cause.

thnaks in advance.
regards

Hi Sanjeev,

there is a possibility that when loading the patch some files have got corrupted. this is not a normal scenario, but what is normal. you just had some bad luck. I guess only OS core have got corrupted. Try to reinstall the same.

hope this helps.

You may need to patch sam. Also keep in mind that sam uses sysdef, where as kmtune is much more accurate for getting kernel parameters. You may want to look at patching sysdef also.

First, resolve any patch issues if their status returned by:
# swlist -l fileset -a state ;
shows INSTALLED, they need to show CONFIGURED, correct by applying '#swconfig' against those patches, accordingly.

It looks like files required to compile and build the kernel have timestamps that prevent them from being updated properly, thus possibly resulting in changes not being made.

these steps may help you resolve the issue:
1. cd /stand/build
2. Remove any o. and conf* files.
Note: In theory, you can remove everything under /stand/build, but the o. files take up lots of space if they are left behind, and the conf* files are what really cause
the problem. If you remove the system file, recreate it by doing:
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
You should now be able to make changes to your kernel using SAM.

G'd luck

I had the same Problem.

I made some patches on my system (SAM and so on), then I had to Recover an older backup.

Now, today I would like to change some Kernel settings, and SAM doesn't showed any KERNEL PARAMETER.

The solution was to install again the newest Patch of SAM, ObAM, ksysdef and "Kernel configuration commands patch".

Now it works.

Thank you for the ideas.
