Tunables are modified by using SAM or the kctune
utility. Changed tunables take effect only after relinking the kernel and booting the system from the new kernel.
The values of system tunables can be examined by selecting Kernel Configuration > Configuration Parameters
in SAM.
DMP tunables can also be set by using the vxdmpadm
command as shown here:
# vxdmpadm settune
dmp_tunable=value
The values of these tunables can be displayed by using this command:
# vxdmpadm gettune
[dmp_tunable]
The vxdmpadm
command also allows you to configure how DMP responds to I/O errors at the level of the paths to individual arrays.
See "Administering DMP using vxdmpadm" on page 135.
