This section is taken from IBM GPFS Tuning Parameters

Option 1: To view GPFS Configuration Parameters

# mmlsconfig
Configuration data for cluster nsd-nas:
----------------------------------------
myNodeConfigNumber 1
clusterName nsd1-nas
clusterId 111111111111
autoload yes
minReleaseLevel 3.4.0.7
dmapiFileHandleSize 32
maxMBpS 2000
maxblocksize 4m
pagepool 1000m
adminMode allToAll

File systems in cluster nsd1-nas:

Option 2: Detailed Dump of configuration

# mmfsadm dump config
afmAsyncDelay 15
afmAtimeXattr 0
afmDirLookupRefreshInterval 60
afmDirOpenRefreshInterval 60
afmDisconnectTimeout 60
afmExpirationTimeout disable
afmFileLookupRefreshInterval 30
afmFileOpenRefreshInterval 30
afmLastPSnapId 0
afmMode 1
afmNumReadGWs 0
afmNumReadThreads 1
afmParallelReadChunkSize 134217728
afmParallelReadThreshold disable
afmReadBufferSize 33554432
afmReadPrefetchThreshold 2

Option 3: Change Configuration Parameters

# mmchconfig pagepool=256M

Use -i to make the change permanent and affect the running GPFS daemon immediately.
Use -I to affect the GPFS daemon only (reverts to saved settings on restart)
