Sysdef no longer working

[Maarten van Maanen]

We are using a HP9000 K370 with HP-UX 11.00 and Oracle 8.0.5.2. I wanted to check the some settings using sysdef but it seems sysdef is not longer working. I get:

# sysdef
ioctl: Function is not available

Is this a known problem and is there a fix for it ??

Hi,

i've found this information at a document:

The current version of the kernel doesn't match the current version
of the symbol table symtab in /stand/dlkm. This can result if
kmupdate is not run after building a new kernel. To fix your problem
use the following procedure:

1. cd /stand/build
2. /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
3. mk_kernel -s ./system
4. kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
5. shutdown -r 0 (don't use reboot.)

Regards
