AIX kernel tuning and parameter file

Where AIX has kernel parameter file to tune some of the parameters?

AIX has commands for tuning. The files where the tuning parameters are stored are not meant to be edited by hand.

The respective commands are:

ioo - I/O options
lvmo - Logical Volume Manager options
nfso - NFS options
no - Network options
raso - RAS options
schedo - Processor scheduler options
vmo - Virtual Memory Manager options

Each command has its manpage and would recognize the flags "-h" for command usage, "-L" and/or "-a" for a list of tunable values and "-h parameter" for a detailed description of the named parameter.

For your information, the files storing the values are in the /etc/tunables directory, namely:

lastboot - values effective at last reboot
nextboot - non-default values to be set/changed at next reboot
