tcp_rexmit_interval_max

The following section changed.

Range

1 millisecond to 20 seconds

to:

Range

1 millisecond to 2 hours

tcp_slow_start_initial

This parameter was corrected.

For information, see tcp_slow_start_initial.

tcp_conn_req_max_q0

The following section changed:

When to Change

For applications, such as web servers that might receive excessive connection requests, you can increase the default value to match the incoming rate.

The following explains the relationship between tcp_conn_req_max_q0 and the maximum number of pending connections for each socket.

When a connection request is received, TCP first checks if the number (N) of pending TCP connections (three-way handshake is done) waiting to be accepted exceeds the maximum for the listener. If the connections are excessive, the request is denied. If the number of connections is allowable, then TCP checks if the number of incomplete pending TCP connections exceeds the sum of N and tcp_conn_req_max_q0. If it does not, the request is accepted. Otherwise, the oldest incomplete pending TCP request is dropped.

Removal of sun4d Support

The sun4d platform is not supported in the Solaris 9 release. The following parameters were modified to reflect the removal of sun4d support:

  • max_nprocs

  • maxphys

  • noexec_user_stack

Changes to Existing Parameters From the Previous Release (Solaris 8)

shmsys:shminfo_shmmin

The following section changed:

When to Change

No known reason.

to:

When to Change

Not recommended. System programs such as powerd might fail if this value is too large. Programs attempting to create a section smaller than the value of shminfo_shmmin will see an EINVAL error when attempting to create the segment and generally, will exit.

semsys:seminfo_semmnu

This parameter was added because it was left out inadvertently.
