tuning maximum number of processes?

hi Gurus,

Our Oracle DBA says he is limited to only having 128 processes. As part of
performance testing, he would like this value increased to 512. The /etc/system
file has an entry for "set maxuprc = 128". maxusers has not been set.

What's the best way to adjust the max number of processes per user? Should I
increase maxuprc directly, or should I adjust maxusers and see how the change
trickles down? Other?

On Solaris 9, how do I view the maximum process limits in effect for a given
user? Before I make any changes, I want to verify the before/after behavior.

And finally, how do I view the current value of max_nprocs to make sure I don't
tune the max processes for one user (maxuprc) beyond the max processes of the
entire system (max_nprocs)?

System is a V440, 4xCPUs, 16-GB RAM, Solaris 9
Thank you! I will summarize.
-John
