pythonOCC 1.0pre2 (Default branch)
11-14-2008
pythonOCC aims to provide a full Python wrapperfor the OpenCascade 3D modeling/visualizationlibrary classes. The first step is to focus onmodeling and import/export classes (IGES, STEP,VRML) in order to provide a complete, powerful,and easy-to-use 3D modeler using Python scripts.License: The CeCILL LicenseChanges:|

dontdump(5) File Formats Manual dontdump(5) NAME
dontdump - defines which classes of kernel memory pages are not dumped when a kernel panic occurs VALUES
Failsafe Default (Allow the kernel to choose which classes to dump.) Allowed values Integer values from to The integer value should be the sum of the integer values for the excluded classes as follows: 2 : Unused pages 4 : User pages 8 : Buffer cache 16 : Kernel text pages 32 : Process stack 64 : File-system Metadata 128 : Kernel dynamic data 256 : Kernel static data 512 : Unused superpage pool Recommended values (Allow the kernel to choose which classes to dump.) The value the kernel usually chooses is = The kernel chooses these classes because they are not usually useful in debugging kernel prob- lems. DESCRIPTION
On large systems, the time required to dump system memory when a kernel panic occurs can be excessive or even prohibitive, depending on how much physical memory is installed in the system. Fast-dump capabilities controlled by the and parameters provide a means for restricting kernel dumps to specific types of information: . Unused Physical Memory . User Process . Buffer Cache . Kernel Code . Process Stack . File-System Metadata . Kernel Dynamic Data . Kernel Static Data . Unused Superpage Pool The command, and its associated configuration file control which of these memory classes are to be included in the memory dumps associated with a kernel panic. On rare occasions, the system may panic before crashconf(1M) is run during the boot process. On those occasions, the configuration can be set using the and tunables. The bit-map value stored in specifies which of these memory classes are not to be included in the memory dumps associated with a kernel panic. The default value for this parameter is The system determines whether or not to dump classes of memory based on the type of crash that occurs, in this case. Note that certain types of system crash, require a full crash dump. Also, the system operator may request a full crash dump at the time the dump is taken. In either of these cases, a full dump will be performed regardless of the classes selected using Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable? Only HP Field engineers should change the value of this tunable. Restrictions on Changing Changes to this tunable take effect at next reboot. Use to change the selection of pages to take effect immediately. When Should the Tunable Be Turned On? This tunable should be turned on to exclude certain classes of pages from being dumped when there is a system crash. This can be done to speedup the dump. What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On? If pages necessary for analyzing the dump are excluded, then the dump may not be useful for identifying the cause of the system crash. When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off? The tunable is turned off by default. What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off? The system decides the page classes that must not be dumped based on the type of crash. The dump may take longer. What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time? The tunable should not contain the same page classes as WARNINGS
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX. Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun- able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.
