Managers,
We have 2 new machines both running 4.0B. I've recently had to
tune some kernel parameters on these machines and ran into a different
method of doing this than I used to do it before. For example, on our
older machine, when I had to change maxusers, I did the whole kernel
rebuild thing. Now, I've used the dxkerneltuner (same as the sysconfigtab
file way) and just rebooted. I've checked the configuration file and it
wasn't updated. But, when I checked the maxusers parameter using dbx, it
was changed.
My questions are - What's the better way to do it? Does it in fact
do the same thing except for having the value in the config file? Does one
override the other if there was a different value in the config than there
was in the sysconfigtab file?
The manuals on these only really talk about what they do - but
does not compare the two - saying which ones the best way to do it.
(unless I haven't read the right manual that is)
