sysdef command doesn't report info about some kernel parameters that are reported by kmtune.

[Jdamian]

Hi

I found that sysdef command doesn't report the "max_mem_window" kernel parameter in HP-UX 11.00. But kmtune does.

Why ?

Thanx in advance

[Rainer von Bongartz]

sydef is an old 10.x tool which exists in 11.x only for compatibility reasons.

You should use and rely on kmtune

Internally, kmtune refers to the following system files:

1. /usr/conf/master.d/* Master configuration tables for kernel and kernel modules

2. /stand/system Default HP-UX system description file

3. /stand/system.d/* Kernel module system description files

Whereas sysdef only refers to /usr/conf/master.d/*. Hence, you could expect a more detailed output from kmtune

I want to explain my problem.

I created a script to get a snapshot of the kernel parameters.

First I thought to use kmtune but this command shows formulae as they are and I need as formulae as current values.

Then somebody in Forums discovered me the sysdef command that does show values of kernel parameters.

But now I must refuse sysdef and use back kmtune...

Some time ago, I tried to compute the values of formulae... but dependecies make complex that script.

Hello

You can use system table option in glance to get the snapshot value of kernel parameter and usage.

hi,

You can try IGNITE's print_manifest command. It gives kernel parameter values. OR you can use SAM and print the info to a file.

I cannot use glance nor SAM from a script.

Hi Damian

Tyr installing PHCO_22035 patch which has some fixes for max* parameters .

Could you just use both? ((unless sysdef doesn't return other values you need for which kmtune returns the formula...))
