Displaying and changing parameters

The following tools are available for examining and/or changing parameters:

configure

A menu-driven program that allows you to examine and modify the value of tunable kernel parameters. This program is also accessible via the Hardware/Kernel Manager. See configure(ADM) for more information.

getconf

This utility reports configuration-dependent values for various standards and for dynamic kernel tables; use setconf to modify temporarily those values that relate to dynamic kernel tables. See getconf(C) for more information.

idtune

Modify the values of some tunable parameters (defined in /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune) that cannot be modified with configure. See idtune(ADM) for more information.

ifconfig

Reconfigure the TCP/IP protocol stack belonging to a single network interface. See ifconfig(ADMN) for more information.

inconfig

Reconfigure default TCP/IP settings for all network interfaces. See inconfig(ADMN) for more information.

setconf

Increase dynamic kernel table sizes, or decrease maximum size of dynamic kernel tables. The new value only remains in force until the system is next rebooted. See setconf(ADM) for more information.

sysdef

Use the /etc/sysdef command to get a subset of the current parameter values in the present configuration of your system. See sysdef(ADM) for more information.
