vx_ninode(5) vx_ninode(5)

(Tunable Kernel Parameters)

NAME

vx_ninode - Determines the internal node table size

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/kctune -s vx_ninode={size}

VALUE

Specify an integer value.

Minimum

Maximum

None

Default

1024

DESCRIPTION

The VxFS ﬁle system caches the inodes in an inode table. The kernel tunable

vx_ninode determines the

number of inodes in the inode table to help VxFS in caching. The

vx_ninode static tunable is initialized

when system is booted. Thus the changes in the vx_ninode table will take effect only during the next sys-

tem reboot.

EXAMPLES

Change the value of vx_ninode to 1000000:

# kctune -s vx_ninode=1000000

WARNINGS

All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release speciﬁc. This parameter may be removed or its meaning

may change in the future releases of HP-UX.

Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parame-

ter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended

values. For information about the effects of installation on tunable values, consult the documentation for

the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory

installed on your system, see HP-UX Release Notes at http://docs.hp.com
