Installation guide

– rt − Realtime subsystem
– snmpinfo − snmpinfo subsystem
– streams − STREAMS subsystem
– tty − Terminal subsystem
– ufs − UNIX File System
– vfs − System V File System
– vm − Virtual memory subsystem
– xpr − XPR kernel tracing subsystem
If you decide to configure attributes of these subsystems, use the
procedures described in Section 5.3.8.
If you purchase a device driver or other kernel subsystem from a company
other than Compaq, that product might also be dynamically loadable or
allow you to dynamically configure attribute values. For information about
dynamically configuring your kernel when working with products from
other vendors, see the documentation for that product and Section 5.3.
If the subsystem you want to add, remove, or configure does not support
dynamic configuration, you must use the static configuration method. You
must also use this method to configure system parameters that do not
support dynamic configuration. For information about the static
configuration method, see Section 5.4.
5.2.1.2 Using dxkerneltuner to Configure Subsystem Attributes
You can view and configure the attributes of loaded subsystems using the
dxkerneltuner graphical user interface
(/usr/bin/X11/dxkerneltuner). The graphical interface can be invoked
in any X-compliant windowing interface, or started from the Tools Drawer
on the Common desktop Environment (CDE) front panel. From the
Application Manager, choose System_Admin then MonitoringTuning. Refer
to the dxkerneltuner
(8X) reference page and the online help for more
information on invoking and using dxkerneltuner.
The kernel tuner allows you four main options:
• Viewing Kernel Subsystem Attributes
• Loading Attribute Values from a File
• Modifying Kernel Subsystem Attributes
• Saving Kernel Subsystem Attributes to a File
You are prompted to confirm or discard and changes before committing
them to the running kernel or to the next boot.
