How to change 'rxbuf_pool_sz' from command line

Posted 05/07/2009 - 15:33 by David Schnardthorst

Problem:

The 'rxbuf_pool_sz' is incorrectly set on an AIX platform. How can this be changed via Command Line options?

Solution:

To change the txdesc_que_sz of a network interface in IBM AIX:

# chdev -l 'ent0' -a rxbuf_pool_sz='<newvalue>' '-P'

Note: The "-P" flag makes this a permament change.

Example:

chdev -l 'ent0' -a rxbuf_pool_sz='2048' '-P'
