The products listed in Table 12-1 have kernel components. You must compile the kernel after installing these products.

Use the following procedure to configure and compile a custom kernel:
If you modified the entries for pseudodevices in the system configuration file, you must make a copy of the file. Go to the /etc/conf/uts/symmetry directory and make a copy of the unix.<config> file, where <config> is the name of your kernel.
After compiling the V4.4.10 kernel, you will need to update the new system configuration file with the pseudodevice modifications specified in the file that you saved.
Issue the menu command to start the menu system.
Select the Kernel Configuration option from the System Administration menu.
The Change Kernel Configuration Disk form displays the current root disk. To compile the kernel on the current root disk, simply use Run to execute the form. To compile the kernel on an alternate disk, specify the name of the disk.
Select the standard kernel (std) from the Compile, Configure, or Remove a Kernel window, and type k to go to the Configure a Kernel form.
On the Configure a Kernel form, specify a new kernel- configuration type, the appropriate kernel-environment type, and whether you want to turn auditing on or off. Also enter a description of your kernel.
ATTENTION If you will be using both auditing and ptx/NFS, you should be aware that ptx/NFS provides minimal support for auditing.
If you do not want to modify tunable parameters, enter N at the "Visibility level for parameter changes" prompt and select Run to execute the form.
If you will be modifying tunable parameters, enter the appropriate visibility level at the prompt. You can then select the parameters to be modified and make the necessary changes. (For details about modifying parameters, see the DYNIX/ptx System Configuration and Performance Guide.)
When the Configure a Kernel form is executed, the following system configuration files will be created in accordance with your system architecture:
unix.<new-config>
This file is created in the /etc/conf/uts/symmetry directory and contains modules that apply to all NUMA systems.
unix_sci.<new-config>
This file is created in the /etc/conf/uts/symmetry/sci directory and contains modules that apply only to IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 systems.
unix_sb8000.<new-config>
This file is created in the /etc/conf/uts/symmetry/sci directory and contains modules that apply only to Symmetry systems.
When the Compile a Kernel form appears, take the appropriate action:
To merge changes to pseudodevices into the new system configuration file, complete the following steps:
Use Cancel to exit the Compile a Kernel form and then exit ptx/ADMIN.
Change directory to /etc/conf/uts/symmetry. Update the unix.<new-config> file with the pseudodevice changes specified in the old file that you saved earlier.
Remove the old file.
Re-enter the menu system and select the Kernel Configuration option. Select the new kernel configuration from the Compile, Configure, or Remove a Kernel window. Type c to go to the Compile a Kernel form.
Complete the Compile a Kernel form and select Run.
Reboot the operating system.
