Kernel Parameters

[wtrepani]

Hello,

I need to be able to view current usage/setting of kernel parameters on a Solaris 8 machine. This is similar to what Glance does on HP.

<setting> <current usage> : <parameter>

Anyone know how to do this without purchasing glance?

Hi, thanks for the response. I tried using sysdef before, and it gives some of the current values, but only for process resource limit tunables. I am also looking for this information for Tunable Parameters and IPC Shared Memory. Any idea on this?

Uh... no, they're all listed by sysdef...

Sample output from my Solaris 8 SS-20:
