Hi.

I am running GPFS on AIX 5.2 and would like to know how to view the
current value of the "maxFilesToCache" setting. The command that would
seem to be the most obvious to display this info would be
"mmlsconfig", but unfortunately that command does not show the
"maxFilesToCache" setting. I cant find this setting in the mmfs.cfg
file either.

Does anyone know how I can retrieve the current value of this setting
?


Sincerely,

John Smith

Hi.

Just in case anyone reads this later, I received an answer to this
question on the Gpfs-general mailing list hosted by IBM at :
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/os...o/gpfs-general

Apparently, mmlsconfig just shows the values that have been changed at
installation time or by the administrator. All other variables have
their "default" values. To dynamically see what the setting is you can
use the internal command "/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/tsctl showcfgvalue
maxfilestocache" (capitalization does not matter).

Or, you can do "mmfsadm dump config" to list all the default setting
that does not show when using mmlsconfig.




Sincerely,

John Smith
