1 – CHECKS
Bypasses validation of parameter values. SYSMAN parameter
validation ensures that the parameters fall within the defined
minimum and maximum values specified in the PARAMETERS SET
command.
Format
PARAMETERS DISABLE CHECKS
1.1 – Description
The PARAMETERS DISABLE CHECKS command enables you to override
minimum and maximum values established for system parameters.
SYSMAN does parameter checks by default. If you attempt to
set parameter values outside the allowable limits when checks
are enabled, the operating system issues an error message. By
disabling checks you can set parameter values regardless of the
minimum and maximum limits.
NOTE
Range checks are enabled by default because VSI suggests that
systems operate within these minimum and maximum values.
Setting parameters outside these limits can result in system
failures or hangs.
1.2 – Example
SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER
SYSMAN> SET PROFILE/DEFAULT=SYS$SYSTEM/PRIVILEGES=CMEXEC
SYSMAN> PARAMETERS SET MAXPROCESSCNT 10
%SMI-E-OUTRANGE, parameter is out of range
SYSMAN> PARAMETERS DISABLE CHECKS
SYSMAN> PARAMETERS SET MAXPROCESSCNT 10
In this example, the initial attempt to set MAXPROCESSCNT
below the minimum fails because range checks are enabled.
However, once range checks are disabled, the PARAMETERS SET
MAXPROCESSCNT command succeeds.
