sysdef

[lastgreatone]

Running sysdef on the L1000 just rebooted does not reflect the values that were modified using SAM. Is sysdef only for softcoded values?

Thanks.

If you are running 11.0, try kmtune.

Sysdef issues are a frequent topic in the forum. A search shows this link:
http://my1.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,1150,0x96597e990647d4118fee0090279cd0f9,00.html
which says: The command sysdef analyzes the currently running system and reports on its tunable configuration parameters. It displays the current values of the parameters as different from the value at boot time.

It suggests looking at the bottom of /stand/system to see which kernel parameters have been tuned.

Hi:

sysdef doesn't report all of the parameters that are tunable but is a nice snapshot of the minimum, maxiumum and current values of many of them. Listing /stand/system is also useful as a supplement.

Glance (t=table) shows some dynamic values like nproc, nfile, smhmni, semmni, etc. which is very handy.

For networking parameters, see also 'nettune' (do a man for more details).

The link below discusses some ways to obtain the dynamic values of still more parameters:
