Run the
dsktune
utility to see if you need to install any other patches. The utility helps you to verify
whether you have the appropriate patches installed on your system and provides useful information
and advice on how to tune your kernel parameters for best performance. For information on the
dsktune
utility, see Section 2.3.1
dsktune
Utility .
2.3.3.4. Tuning the System
Set your kernel parameters as follows:
•
Set maxfiles to 1024.
•
Set nkthread to 1328; nkthread is a computed value: (((NPROC*7)/4+16).
•
Set max_thread_proc to 512.
•
Set maxusers to 64.
•
Set maxuprc to 512.
•
Set nproc to 750.
Typically, client applications that do not properly shut down the socket cause it to linger in a
TIME_WAIT state. To prevent this, you should consider changing the TIME_WAIT setting to a
reasonable value. For example, setting
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000
limits the
TIME_WAIT
state of sockets to 60 seconds.
You also need to turn on large file support in order for Directory Server to work properly. To change
an existing filesystem (from one that has no large files to one that accepts large files):
1. Unmount the system using the umount command:
umount /export
2. Create the large filesystem:
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rexport
3. Remount the filesystem:
/usr/sbin/mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/export
For additional information and recommendations about setting these parameters, consult your
operating-system documentation.
