You'll need to mess with the /etc/system settings to preallocate enough
shared memory.  There's formula in here:
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/183702.htm.  

The /etc/system entry looks like this:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=67108864

See the installation guide for suggestions and such on semaphore's, etc.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Memory allocation - Solaris 8


Being fairly new to Solaris (version 8), can someone answer a question 
for me?

I have a NBU 4.5 Media Server (running on a Solaris 8 server). I want to
change SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS to 262144 and NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS to 32, to see if
this improves performance.

This server has 3Gb of memory.

I seem to remember someone saying that they is a configuration file within
Solaris which states how much memory etc an application can use.

If so, where is it, and what do I have to do to it to allow NBU to use as
much memory as it requires?


Thanks,

Andy Skates
