Setting Parameters
4
This chapter describes how to configure the
hme
driver parameters using the
ndd
utility in the
/etc/system
file, or in the
hme.conf
file. Use the
ndd
utility to configure parameters that are valid until you reboot the system.
To configure the
hme
driver parameters for all devices in the system so that the
parameter values are always in effect (even after rebooting the system), enter
the parameter values in the
/etc/system
file. When the system is rebooted,
it reads the
/etc/system
file and sets the parameter values in that file.
To set a particular parameter for a device in the system, set the parameter in
the
hme.conf
file in the
/kernel/drv
directory. The parameters set in the
hme.conf
file have precedence over the parameters set in the
/etc/system
file and override the parameters set in the
/etc/system
file. Setting
hme.conf
parameter values are always in effect (even after rebooting the
system).
Parameter Options
You can set the
hme
device driver parameters in three ways (
ndd
,
/etc/system
, and
hme.conf
), depending on your needs. To set parameters
that are valid until you reboot the system, use the
ndd
utility. Using
ndd
is a
good way to test parameter settings.
