u can get the configured information from /stand/system file..
not aware of any commands to query the kernel for its tunable parameters

[Rajeev Shukla]

sysdef will not give you all the tunable kernel parameters, best is kmtune with either "-l" option or witout it.
Have a look at man pages of kmtune for more details.

Cheers

To list kernel parameters:
- SAM --> Kernel Configuration --> Configurable parameters -->
- to show
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s /tmp/system
- # kmtune -l
or
# kmtune -S /stand/system
or
# sysdef
Note:
kmtune and sysdef work well on hpux 11, but 'kmtune' doesn't exist on on 10.20
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s does not show all the kernel settings at all. What it does show are the drivers that are currently loaded in the kernel and system parameters that have been changed from the default.

hi zhang,

/usr/sbin/kmtune -l

/usr/sbin/kmtune -q name - to query a kernel parameter

/usr/sbin/sysdef - shows the currently running kernel's tunable parameters.
