access 12 data stores, add the following line to /etc/system and reboot
before using TimesTen:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=12
Other
changes
Other changes that you may need to make to your Solaris system
include the following:
• To allow a large number of connections to a data store, add the
following lines to /etc/system and reboot before using TimesTen:
set rlim_fd_cur=4096
set rlim_fd_max=4096
• To enable large shared memory objects in Solaris, add the following
line to /etc/system and reboot before using TimesTen:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x240000000
Note: The value 0x240000000 (a 24 followed by seven zeroes)
indicates that the largest shared memory segment that can be created
is 1024 MB. The size of the shared memory segment required for a
data store is larger than the data store size permanent size. Set this
value high enough to support the largest shared memory segment
needed.
Large data
stores
If you keep data stores on a Solaris UFS file system, and are using
transaction-consistent checkpoints, you may need to change the settings
of some kernel parameters to get the best performance for your
checkpoints. The Solaris UFS Throttle algorithm causes processes that
write a single large file to be put to sleep when a byte count threshold
exceeds the high-water mark. To disable the algorithm, add the line:
set ufs:ufs_WRITES = 0
to the /etc/system file.
Alternatively, you can increase the high-water mark by adding the line:
set ufs:ufs_HW = desired value
to the /etc/system.file
You must reboot the system for the new value to take effect.
Setting the high-water mark to the size of the checkpoint file should
provide satisfactory performance, although a lower value may as well.
More information on the UFS Throttle algorithm may be obtained in the
white paper, “Understanding Solaris Filesystems and Paging” (SMLI
TR-98-55) available from
