System Administration Manager (SAM) allows you to configure various tunable parameters. After installation is complete, all of the STREAMS/UX parameters are set to a default value and do not require any modifications. You may, however, want to change one tunable parameter. If you want to use STREAMS-based pipes, you will need to change this default value.

NOTE: By turning on STREAMS-based pipes, ALL of the pipes created by the pipe(2) command on the system will be STREAMS-based.

You can use SAM to configure STREAMS-based pipes. Follow the steps below:

  1. In SAM, choose "Kernel Configuration," followed by "Configurable Parameters."

  2. Highlight the "streampipes" label, then select "Modify Configurable Parameters" from the Actions menu.

  3. Under the label "Choose One to Modify Parameters," choose "Specify New Formula Value." Set the formula value to 1 (one), then press OK.

  4. In the File menu, choose exit. Before SAM exits, it will ask you when you want to have the new kernel created. Choose "Create a New Kernel Now."

  5. Press OK. The new kernel will be built and moved into place.
