Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Administration Guide (14233)

1.7.1 Performing Web-Based System Management
From the Administration utility Manage Components menu, you can link to the sysman
Web-based management utility to perform a variety of system management tasks such as shutting
down and rebooting the system, and managing local printers. Follow these steps to access the
sysman Web-based management utility:
1. Under System on the Manage Components menu, choose Web-Based Management.
2. From the Web-Based Management menu, click on the link for the sysman utility. From the
sysman Main menu, you can select the type of management function you want to perform.
1.7.2 Tuning Kernel Attribute Values
By tuning attribute values in the following kernel subsystems, you can optimize the
Internet-related services running on your AlphaServer system for various process loads, system
configurations, network topologies, and other conditions:
• Generic subsystem (generic)
• Internet subsystem (inet)
• Network subsystem (net)
• Process subsystem (proc)
• Socket subsystem (socket)
• Virtual memory subsystem (vm)
For detailed information on how each kernel subsystem attribute affects the performance of
Internet services on an AlphaServer system, see Tuning Compaq Tru64 UNIX for Internet Services,
available at the following URL:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/internet/TITLE.HTM
To use the Administration utility to tune Internet-related kernel subsystem attributes, follow
these steps:
1. Ensure that JavaScript is enabled in your browser preferences.
2. From the Administration utility Main menu, choose Manage Components.
3. From the Manage Components menu, under System, choose Tune the Kernel for Internet
Services.
The Administration utility queries the running kernel (using the sysconfig -q command)
and the system configuration file (using the sysconfigdb -l command) to obtain the
values to display in the Run-Time Value and Boot-Time Value text fields, respectively.
If any messages occurred while the Administration utility was building the Tune the Kernel
for Internet Services form, a link appears at the top of the form. Click on this link for details.
4. Use either of the following methods to tune the values in these text fields:
• Type a value in the Run-Time Value field to change the value in the running kernel.
Type a value in the Boot-Time Value field to replace the value in the
/etc/sysconfigtab file.
• Click on one of the following buttons in the Suggested Values column:
— Recommended—Sets both the Run-Time Value and the Boot-Time Value to the
optimized value recommended for AlphaServer systems with average loads, under
normal conditions, and typical server hardware and network configurations.
