Thanks to the following people for suggestions:
John P Speno
Cyndi Smith
Mark E Hunter
Kevin S Partin
Dr. Tom Blinn
The suggestions:
1)Make sure I rebooted
I did
2)Check output of sysconfig -q vm to make sure changes were in effect
They were
3)Get the latest version of syscheck
I upgraded from v111 to v114 and this took care of the problem woth
ubc-minpercent, but the others remained
Mark E Hunter also gave me some good suggestions on tuning the UBC and AdvFS
parameters. I have yet to try these as I can't bring our production machine
done very often, but I will try them when I get a chance...
Thanks to all who responded!
My original message:
Hi admins,
I have a question about syscheck. I am getting the following output in the
Virtual Memory and Swap section:
----------
Operational: The value of ubc-minpercent usually must be more than 1 and
less than 31.
Use the sysconfigdb command or the Kernel Tuner to add the following to
/etc/sysconfigtab:
vm:
ubc-minpercent=1
You must reboot the system in order to use the new value.

Operational: The value of ubc-borrowpercent must be more than or equal to
the value of ubc-minpercent and less than or equal to ubc-maxpercent.
Use the sysconfigdb command or the Kernel Tuner to add the following to
/etc/sysconfigtab:
vm:
ubc-borrowpercent=65
You must reboot the system in order to use the new value.

Currently, I have ubc-minpercent=30 and ubc-borrowpercent=65. Why would I
still be getting these messages? I changed ubc-borrowpercent to 65 like my
previous syscheck report suggested. Any ideas? I'm running 4.0D.
