Hi RAC,
Since man is not accessible for me....can u please please give me the exact syntax of it...


kcmodule -c "what is config_name??"
Also i am not able to access kernel config thro sam...what is the reason...i have only kcweb option...for hpux 11i v2 4640 itanium..

its urgent ...
Thanks RAC...

kcweb, then on kcweb screen, you have modules option. Select that, then stape module and modify option. After that everything is self explainatory.

Hi RAC,
The thing is that apache is not installed..as a result kcweb is not accessible..
Can u tell me why i am not getting another kernel config option apart from kcweb....

And also the kcmodule syntax..
Prompt response highly appreciated...

Hi,

Just check with "sam". It has got kernel tuning capabilities.

Hi arun,
In my sam there is only one option kcweb...and no other kernel tuning option....

[RAC_1]

kcmodule stape=best should do it. (you need to be root for it. This also requires a system reboot)

kcmodule -v stape to confirm it.

Thanks RAC,
I will try it and let u know.....

Hi RAC,
One last doubt...why there is no kernel config option in my sam window....except kcweb option....

Bcoz http apache is not installed....

Shalom,

As far as I know a kernel configuration option is standard on sam unless you are not root and have been given restricted sam access.

If you are root then there may be a problem with sam.

There does appear to be something fundamentally missing with your OS installation. Is it possible to reinstall?
