If the system was not booted after the last time the configuration parameters were
changed, then the displayed values will not reflect the actual system set-up. For
more information about using
sxconfig
, refer to the on-line
man
page.
The
sxconfig
command resides in the directory
/platform/
SUNW,SPARCstation-10,SX/sbin
; the shell environment variable
PATH
must
include this directory. To find out whether the
PATH
environment variable includes
the
/platform/SUNW,SPARCstation-10,SX/sbin
directory, type:
Your search path will be displayed. An example:
If the line displayed does not include

sbin
, enter the following if you are in either the Bourne shell or the Korn shell:
followed by:
if you are in the Bourne shell.
If you are in the C shell, enter:
If 16 MBytes of memory must be reserved, enter:
On a system configured with 16 MByte DSIMMs, the maximum amount of SXDRAM
that can be reserved in a single block is 16 MBytes. On such systems, when more
than 16 MBytes of memory must be reserved for SXDRAM, the
sxconfig
command
# echo $PATH
/bin:/etc/:/usr/bin:
# PATH=$PATH:/platform/SUNW,SPARCstation-10,SX/sbin export PATH
# export PATH
# setenv PATH “$PATH /platform/SUNW,SPARCstation-10,SX/sbin”
# sxconfig -s 16
