Using NSKCOM to Configure KMS Files

•

The following HP products consume a large amount of swap space. If you run

these applications, you might need to configure additional swap space to handle

the increased load:

•

TELNET Server (Telserv)

•

Native link editor (nld)

•

Object file linker for TNS/E (eld)

•

Open System Services (OSS)

After the system has been running for a while, you can use historical data to guide you

when you adjust your KMSF configuration. See Key Indicators for KMSF Usage on

page 3-2.

Using NSKCOM to Configure KMS Files

NSKCOM is the command interface to the KMSF. Use NSKCOM to add, alter,

manage, start, stop, and delete swap files. Do not use other tools such as the File

Utility Program (FUP). For complete information on NSKCOM commands and syntax,

see Section 4, NSKCOM Command Reference.

1. Run NSKCOM. For example:

> NSKCOM

2. Use the NSKCOM ADD command to create swap files for each processor. The

configuration file is created and altered automatically when you use the ADD

command. See ADD Command on page 4-2.

3. Use the START command to enable use of the swap files. See the START

Command on page 4-22

4. When you are satisfied with your configuration, exit NSKCOM:

NSK-EXIT
