La commande 'asoo' permet de gérer les paramètres de l'optimiseur système(ASO).
Pour consulter les valeurs actuelles, utiliser l'option '-a'.

asoo Command
Purpose
Manages the tunable parameters of the active system optimizer (ASO).
Syntax
asoo [-p|-r] [-y] {-o Tunable [=Newvalue]}
asoo [-p|-r] [-y] {-d Tunable }
asoo [-p|-r] [-y] -D
asoo [-p|-r] [-F] -a
asoo [-h] [Tunable]
asoo [-F] -L [Tunable]
asoo [-F] -x [Tunable]
Note: Multiple options, such as-o, -d, -x, and -L, are allowed.
Description
The asoo command is used to configure the ASO tunable parameters. This command sets or displays the current or next boot
values for all ASO tunable parameters. It also makes permanent changes or defers changes until the next reboot operation.
Whether the command sets or displays a parameter is determined by the accompanying flag. The -o flag performs both
actions. It can either display the value of a parameter or set a new value for a parameter.
Note: If used incorrectly, the asoo command can cause serious performance degradation or operating system failure.
Before changing any tunable parameter, first carefully read about all the tunable parameter characteristics in the
Tunable Parameters section , and follow any Refer To pointer to fully understand its purpose. You must then ensure that
the Diagnosis and Tuning sections for this parameter actually apply to your situation and that changing the value of this
parameter could help improve the performance of your system. If the Diagnosis and Tuning sections both contain only N/A,
do not change this parameter unless specifically directed by the AIX .
Flags
Item
Description
-a
Displays the current, reboot (when used in conjunction with the -r option), or permanent (when used in conjunction
with the -p option) value for all tunable parameters, one per line in pairs: Tunable=Value. For the permanent
options, a value only displays for a parameter if its reboot and current values are equal. Otherwise, it displays
NONE as the value.
-d Tunable
Resets the Tunable parameter to the default values. If a Tunable parameter needs to be changed (that is, it is
currently not set to its default value) and is of type Bosboot or Reboot, or if it is of type Incremental and has
been changed from its default value, and the -r option is not used in combination, it is not changed but a warning
is displayed instead.
-D
Resets all Tunable parameter to their default value. If Tunable parameter, which need to be changed are of type
Bosboot or Reboot, or are of type Incremental and have been changed from their default value, and the -r option is
not used in combination, they are not changed but a warning is displayed instead.
-F
Forces display of the restricted tunable parameters when the -a, -L, and -x options are specified alone on the
command line to list all tunable parameters. When the -F flag is not specified, restricted tunable parameters are
not displayed, unless these restricted tunable parameters are specifically named with a display option.
-h Tunable
Displays help about the tunable parameter if the parameter is specified. Otherwise, displays the asoo command usage
statement.
-L Tunable
Lists the characteristics of one or all tunable parameters, one per line, using the following format:
NAME CUR DEF BOOT MIN MAX UNIT
TYPE
DEPENDENCIES
--------------------------------------------------------
aso_active 1 1 1 0 1 D
boolean --------------------------------------------------------
...
where:
CUR = current value
DEF = default value
BOOT = reboot value
MIN = minimal value
MAX = maximum value
UNIT = tunable unit of measure
TYPE = parameter type: D (for Dynamic), S (for Static), R (for
Reboot,
B (for Bosboot), M (for Mount), I (for Incremental),
C (for Connect), and d (for Deprecated)
DEPENDENCIES = list of dependent tunable parameters, one per
line
-o Tunable=[NewValue]
Displays the value or sets tunable parameter to NewValue. If a tunable parameter needs to be changed (the specified
value is different from the current value), and is of type Bosboot or Reboot, or if it is of type Incremental and
its current value is larger than the specified value, and the -r option is not used in combination, and is not
changed but a warning is displayed instead.
When the -r option is used in combination without a new value, the nextboot value for tunable parameter is
displayed.
-p
When the -p option is used in combination without a new value, a value is displayed only if the current and next
boot values for tunable parameter are the same. Otherwise, it displays NONE as the value.
When used in combination with the -o, -d, or -D options, this flag applies changes to both the current and reboot
values. That is, this flag turns on the updating function of the /etc/tunables/nextboot file in addition to turning
on the updating function of the current value. These combinations cannot be used on the Reboot and Bosboot type
parameters because their current value cannot be changed.
When used with the -a or -o options without specifying a new value, values are displayed only if the current and
next boot values for a parameter are the same. Otherwise, it displays NONE as the value.
-r
When the -r option is used in combination with the -o, -d, or -D options, this flag applies changes to the reboot
values, for example, turns on the updating function of the /etc/tunables/nextboot file. If any parameter of type
Bosboot is changed, you are prompted to run the bosboot command.
When the -r option is used with the -a or -o options without specifying a new value, next boot values for tunable
parameters are displayed instead of current values.
-x [Tunable]
Lists characteristics of one or all tunable parameter, one per line, by using the following (spreadsheet) format:
tunable,current,default,reboot,min,max,unit,type,{dtunable }
where:
current = current value
default = default value
reboot = reboot value
min = minimal value
max = maximum value
unit = tunable unit of measure
type = parameter type: D (for Dynamic), S (for Static), R (for
Reboot),
B (for Bosboot), M (for Mount), I (for Incremental),
C (for Connect), and d (for Deprecated)
dtunable = list of dependent tunable parameters
-y
Suppresses the confirmation prompt before running the bosboot command. If you make any change (with the -o, -d, or
-D option) to a restricted tunable parameter, it results in a warning message that a tunable parameter of the
restricted use type has been changed. If you also specify the -r or -p options on the command line, you are prompted
for confirmation of the change. In addition, at system reboot, the presence of restricted tunable parameter in the
/etc/tunables/nextboot file, which were changed to a value that is different from the default value (by using a
command line for specifying the -r or -p options), results in an error log entry that identifies the list of these
changed tunable parameters.
Tunable Parameters Type
All the tunable parameters that are manipulated by the tuning commands (no, nfso, vmo, ioo, schedo, raso, and asoo) are
classified into the following categories:
Item
Description
Dynamic
The parameter can be changed at any time.
Static
The parameter can never be changed.
Reboot
The parameter can only be changed a during reboot operation.
Bosboot
The parameter can only be changed by running the bosboot command, and rebooting the system.
Mount
Changes to the parameter are only effective for future file systems or directory mounts.
Incremental
The parameter can only be incremented at boot time.
Connect
Changes to the parameter are only effective for future socket connections.
Deprecated
Changes to this parameter are no longer supported by the current release of AIX.
For parameters of the Bosboot type, whenever a change is performed, the tuning commands automatically prompt you to
determine whether you want to run the bosboot command. For parameters of the Connect type, the tuning commands
automatically restarts the inetd daemon.
Note: The current set of parameters that are managed by the asoo command only includes the Dynamic and Reboot types of
tunable parameters.
Tunable Parameters
For default values and range of values for tunable parameters, see the help information for the asoo command (-
h<tunable_parameter_name>).
Item
Description
aso_active
Purpose
Disables the ASO.
Tuning
A value of 0 indicates that the ASO is disabled. A value of 1 indicates that the ASO is enabled.
debug_level
Purpose
Changes the debug level of the ASO.
Tuning
A value of -1 (default) indicates that no debug information is collected. A value that is greater than -1
indicates that all levels of debug information at or below the level specified by this tunable parameter is
collected. The location of the data collected is specified by the aso.debug entry in the /etc/syslog.conf
file.
