Page 1: HP-UX 11iv3 Private Kernel Parameter nfile by Dusan Baljevic

ON HP-UX 11iv3 kernel parameter nfile is now a private.

# kctune

... by itself does not list nfile.

Officially, private kernel parameters are “invisible” but there are interesting ways to check it:

a) Query the parameter directly:

# kctune -v nfile

b) Or, run:

# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

This command will report nfile IF IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE DEFAULT VALUE!

On HP-UX 11.31 nfile should be set to 0 (default). If it is not, it can create massive problems in applications, or databases like Oracle.
