Preparing the Customization File to Change the setup

Preparing the Customization File to Change the setup_sysctl Parameter

Use these instructions for a deployment in this situation:

The existing sysctl parameters on your system meet the DPK requirements.

The values must be equal to or greater than the values for the parameters in the generated psft_unix_system.yaml file.
You do not want the DPK setup script to overwrite the sysctl parameters

See "Prerequisites," Reviewing the System Parameters on Linux.

Note:

Review the requirements in Understanding PeopleSoft Environment Customizations before preparing the customization file.

Locate the psft_unix_system.yaml file, which was installed by the deployment, in BASE_DIR/dpk/puppet/production/data.
If necessary, create a psft_customizations.yaml using a standard editing tool, such as vi on Linux, and save it in the same location as the generated psft_unix_system.yaml file.

If this is the first entry in the psft_customizations.yaml file, ensure that there are three dashes (---) on the first line of the file. Do not indent the dashes.
Copy the parameter below from the psft_unix_system.yaml file and paste it into the psft_customizations.yaml file.

Retain the indentation as given in the delivered YAML file.
```
setup_sysctl: true
```
To specify that the deployment does not overwrite the sysctl parameters, change the value to “false”; for example:
```
---
setup_sysctl: false
```
Save the file.
