chparm(1) — AIX/RT 2.2.1

chparm

PURPOSE

     Changes or examines system parameters.

SYNOPSIS
     chparm [ nodename= newvalue ] [ kernel ]

DESCRIPTION

     The chparm command lets you  change a system parameter or
     look  at  its  current   setting.   Currently,  only  the
     nodename parameter may be  examined or changed.  The name
     assigned cannot be longer  than eight characters.  If you
     do not assign a newvalue, chparm writes the current value
     of nodename to standard output.  The default kernel-image
     is /unix.

     Changes  do  not affect  the  running  system.  You  must
     restart the system for the change to become effective.

EXAMPLES

     1.  To display the nodename of your system:

           chparm  nodename

         This displays the nodename of  /unix, which is a file
         containing the  kernel of  the AIX  operating system.
         This file  is loaded  and run when  you start  up the
         computer.
     2.  To change the nodename of a system:

           chparm  nodename=COMP-CTR  /unix.compctr

         This  changes  the  nodename  of  "/unix.compctr"  to
         "COMP-CTR".  "/unix.compctr" is  a file that contains
         an alternate version of  the operating system kernel.
         The change  does not affect the  running system, even
         if you change the /unix kernel.
