sysdef output

Hi,

The kernel configurable parameters when listed out using sysdef seems to be entirely different when compared with the listing in SAM.
In the case of maxdsiz and maxtsiz the sysdef output is showing the values as 0, but at the same time in SAM it shows a value of 503866(pages) .

The problem is, we wanted to install an application which refers the maxdsiz and maxtsiz values during the installation. Since the sysdef is listing out it as 0, we are unable to carry out the installation.

Even after tuning the same values and rebuilding the kernel, it didn't get effect in sysdef output.
The OS version in HP-UX 11.00.
Can anyone help me out in this regard?

Thanks and Regards,
N.Harinath

Re: sysdef output

sysdef output is not always reliable. The tool that you should use is kmtune.

Full list of parameters
# kmtune

Query one parameter
# kmtune -q maxtsiz

Refer to the kmtune manpage for details.

Re: sysdef output

sydef mainly is an 'old' 9.x and 10.x tools.
Under 11.x you should use kmtune to read and set kernel params

Re: sysdef output

Hi,

Our vendor application refers to sysdef for installing the software.
Is anyway we can match the sysdef listing with the one in SAM.

Re: sysdef output

Hi,

Have a look at the file that 'sam' refers
to and this can be found at
/var/sam/boot.config

Re: sysdef output

Hi:

You may also find it helpful to look at /stand/system. The kernel parameters reflected therein are those that differ from the default values.
