[HPADM] [SUMMARY] SHMMAX kernel variable

Thank you all. Most of you suggested to add the following line in
/etc/system and reboot the system.

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=536870912

I still do not get the anwser about 'how to display the current kernel
setting value".

Thanks again - Stephanie

The following is the responce from Jeff Lightner:

Coincidentally someone in the Netbackup mailing list just posted her system
file from a Solaris 9 box. I suspect similar settings would help OMNI back
though I've never used it. Unfortunately sun (at least through version 8)
didn't have a full tool like SAM. It did have Admintool and I don't recall
the things that will get to. On Sun you don't recompile the kernel when
you change parameters as you do on HP-UX. Just adding to /etc/system and
rebooting makes them take effect. It's been a couple of years since I
worked on Sun so do this at your own risk.

Here are my current Solaris /etc/system parameters:

set msgsys:msginfo_msgmap=512

set msgsys:msginfo_msgmax=8192

set msgsys:msginfo_msgmnb=65536

set msgsys:msginfo_msgmni=256

set msgsys:msginfo_msgssz=16

set msgsys:msginfo_msgtql=512

set msgsys:msginfo_msgseg=8192

set semsys:seminfo_semmap=64

set semsys:seminfo_semmni=1024

set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1024

set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=1024

set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=300

set semsys:seminfo_semopm=32

set semsys:seminfo_semume=64

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=536870912

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=220

set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
