Comments on: MySQLTuner Revision 22 is now available http://rackerhacker.com/2007/12/03/mysqltuner-revision-22-is-now-available/ Words of wisdom from a server administrator Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:42:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: PCheese http://rackerhacker.com/2007/12/03/mysqltuner-revision-22-is-now-available/#comment-223 PCheese Fri, 28 Dec 2007 19:48:36 +0000 http://rackerhacker.com/2007/12/03/mysqltuner-revision-22-is-now-available/#comment-223 I was trying to get mysqltuner to work on OpenSolaris/SunOS (for use with a server at Joyent). Since the current stable revision doesn't include support for Solaris-type systems, I was getting errors when trying to run the script. I made some quick modifications to mysqltuner to get the script to run. Here's what I added near the end of the os_setup subroutine (around line 121): } elsif ($os =~ /SunOS/) { $physical_memory = `prtconf | grep Memory | cut -c 14- | awk '{print \$1}'` * 1048576; $swap_memory = `swap -l | grep '^/' | awk '{print \$5}'`; } I'm not very familiar with SunOS or awk so I hope someone else can write a cleaner version of this, but at least it works fairly well. Also, the 64-bit OS detection code does not seem to detect the correct value on Solaris - you may want to look into that as well. (I didn't figure out how to put this into a ticket on Trac.)

I made some quick modifications to mysqltuner to get the script to run. Here’s what I added near the end of the os_setup subroutine (around line 121):

} elsif ($os =~ /SunOS/) {
$physical_memory = `prtconf | grep Memory | cut -c 14- | awk ‘{print \$1}’` * 1048576;
$swap_memory = `swap -l | grep ‘^/’ | awk ‘{print \$5}’`;
}

I’m not very familiar with SunOS or awk so I hope someone else can write a cleaner version of this, but at least it works fairly well. Also, the 64-bit OS detection code does not seem to detect the correct value on Solaris - you may want to look into that as well.
