HP OpenVMS Alpha SYSGEN Parameters

the DBA and system administrator may be the same person . The instructions in
this section are directed to the system administrator.
For setting or modifying SYSGEN parameters, OpenVMS provides the AUTOGEN
utility
. You can also use SYSGEN, but this is an older utility, and its use is
discouraged, except perhaps for checking current values . You must have SYSPRV
or BYPASS privilege to run these utilities.
AUTOGEN provides a permanent method for setting parameters, and it documents
all changes
. AUTOGEN also lets you recalculate any parameters that depend on
other parameters that you might have changed . Remember to record parameter
values before changing them, and determine beforehand what results you expect
from your changes
. If the expected changes do not occur, then restore the old
values before trying again.
1. Run the AUTOGEN utility with the SAVPARAMS parameter by entering the
following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS GETDATA
This step saves current parameters to a file named AGEN$FEEDBACK.DAT.
2. If you have not already done so, then run AUTOGEN GETDATA to ensure that
the file PARAMS.DAT has been generated.
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA
3. Examine the parameter settings in the current PARAMS.DAT, and if they are
inappropriate, then change them in the MODPARAMS.DAT file by using the
format MIN_<parameter>=<value> as in the following commands:
MIN_GBLSECTIONS=3000
MIN_GBLPAGES=300000
The MIN prefix indicates that you are setting a lower limit for the specified
parameter
. To use the MIN prefix, identify the current value of the specified
parameter (using SYSGEN) and the amount by which you want to increase the
parameter
. The sum of these two values is used for the MIN_<parameter>
entry.
4. Run the AUTOGEN utility with the GENPARAMS and REBOOT parameters by
entering the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GENPARAMS REBOOT
