tcp_fin_wait_2_timeout

[Nagendra_6]

Hi,
I am changing one of the ndd parameters, --> tcp_fin_wait_2_timeout.

Could you please let me know if this needs the HP-UX Server re-boot ?

Do i need to re-start the Application Server ( BEA )

Tks, Nag

Nag,

My guess would be that the changed setting will only be in effect for the new sockets that is getting created, not for the sockets that are already present.

But no, you should not require to reboot the server. If you would like to retain these settings even after reboot, then you need to edit /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf file.

Add this entries to /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf file

TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=tcp
NDD_NAME[0]=tcp_fin_wait_2_timeout
NDD_VALUE[0]=

If you have the above entries, during bootup, /sbin/init.d/net script will execute ndd command and set the values for the parameter.

You can also execute ndd -c to set the values without having to reboot.
