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
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
values before changing them, and determine beforehand what results you expect
.
from your changes
values before trying again.
Run the AUTOGEN utility with the SAVPARAMS parameter by entering the
1.
following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS GETDATA
This step saves current parameters to a file named AGEN$FEEDBACK.DAT.
If you have not already done so, then run AUTOGEN GETDATA to ensure that
2.
the file PARAMS.DAT has been generated.
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA
Examine the parameter settings in the current PARAMS.DAT, and if they are
3.
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.
Run the AUTOGEN utility with the GENPARAMS and REBOOT parameters by
4.
entering the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GENPARAMS REBOOT
If the expected changes do not occur, then restore the old
