5 Setting Variables that Control ACSLS Behavior

ACSLS has both static and dynamic variables:

Static variables

Static variables are identified by a sentence in the prompt that describes the variable and allows you set a new value.

Example: Changes to <variable_name> will not take effect until product is restarted.

Note:
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tpc tcp_ip_abort_cinterval 15000
Dynamic variable

Changes to an ACSLS dynamic variable take effect when the variable is next referenced during ACSLS operation.

Easy ways to display and update ACSLS variables:

Display the current settings of all ACSLS variables (static and dynamic):
```
dv_config -d
```
- Save the current settings of the variables to a file:
```
dv_config -d > filename
```
- View the file:
```
vi filename
```
Print values of dynamic options:
```
dv_print
```
Display the current setting of one variable with a prompt that explains the variable and enables changing the setting:
```
dv_config -p variable_name > -u
```
where:
- -p
  
  Prompt enables you to specify a new value for the variable.
- <variable_name>
  
  Insert the desired variable name here.
- -u
  
  Update the values of dynamic variables in shared memory if the variable is changed. The -u option is not used for static variables.
Note:
Enter a question mark (?) at the prompt to see a more complete description of the variable. The prompt refreshes allowing you to change the variable.

You can also use the acsss_config menu to set the variables that control ACSLS behavior. With options 1-8, you are:
