segkpsize

The following section changed for the Solaris 9 8/03 release. This section was also moved to the General Parameters section of Chapter 2, Solaris Kernel Tunables.

Units

Mbytes

to

Units

8-Kbyte pages

segspt_minfree

The following section changed.

Range

0 to 32,767

to:

Range

0 to 50% of physical memory.

shmsys:shminfo_shmseg

The following section changed.

Description

Limit on the number of shared memory segments that any one process can create.

to:

Description

Limit on the number of shared memory segments that any one process can attach.

shmsys:shminfo_shmmax

The following sections changed.

Description

Maximum size of system V shared memory segment that can be created. This parameter is an upper limit that is checked before the system sees if it actually has the physical resources to create the requested memory segment.

Description

Maximum size of system V shared memory segment that can be created. This parameter is an upper limit that is checked before the system sees if it actually has the physical resources to create the requested memory segment.

Attempts to create a shared memory section whose size is zero or whose size is larger than the specified value will fail with an EINVAL error.

The following sections changed in the Solaris 9 8/03 release.

Description

Maximum size of system V shared memory segment that can be created. This parameter is an upper limit that is checked before the system sees if it actually has the physical resources to create the requested memory segment.

Attempts to create a shared memory section whose size is zero or whose size is larger than the specified value will fail with an EINVAL error.

Description

Maximum size of system V shared memory segment that can be created. This parameter is an upper limit that is checked before the application sees if it actually has the physical resources to create the requested memory segment.

Attempts to create a shared memory section whose size is zero or whose size is larger than the specified value will fail with an EINVAL error.

This parameter specifies only the largest value the operating system can accept for the size of a shared memory segment. Whether the segment can be created depends entirely on the amount of swap space available on the system and, for a 32-bit process, whether there is enough space available in the process's address space for the segment to be attached.

Range

0 - MAXINT on 32-bit systems, 0 - MAXINT64 on 64-bit systems

to

Range

0 - MAXUINT32 on 32-bit systems, MAXUINT64 on 64-bit systems

sq_max_size

Range

1 to 0 (unlimited)

to

Range

0 (unlimited) to MAXINT

When to Change

When NCA is running on a system with a lot of memory, increase this parameter to allow drivers to queue more packets of data. If a server is under heavy load, increase this parameter so modules and drivers may process more data without dropping packets or getting backlogged.

Note - sq_max_size=0 is intended only for benchmarks or testing environments.


Solaris 8 and later releases - Do not set this parameter to 0 on production systems. If you need to change this parameter, gradually increase this value and monitor the system.

Solaris 7 and earlier releases - Do not set this parameter to 0 on production systems. If you need to change this parameter, gradually increase this value to a maximum of 100, and monitor the system.

tmpfs:tmpfs_maxkmem

The following section changed.

Default

to:

Default

One page or 4% of physical memory, whichever is greater.

tmpfs:tmpfs_minfree

This parameter was corrected. The following section changed:
