Several Solaris kernel values are typically too small
for a WebSphere Process Server installation. You must set
selected kernel parameters to higher values.
Why and when to perform this task
To set kernel parameters, perform the following
steps:
Steps for this task
- If you are not already logged into the host machine
as root, do so.
- Review the machine configuration.
Do this by entering the following command:
sysdef -i
- Set the kernel values by editing the /etc/system file.
Draft comment:
For 6.0.1. we must confirm with Frank Malin
that these are indeed the recommended values for WPS. There is some
conflict in the WAS ND documentation.
Use the
values shown in the following example:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 1024
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni = 1024
set semsys:seminfo_semaem = 16384
set semsys:seminfo_semmni = 1024
set semsys:seminfo_semmap = 1026
set semsys:seminfo_semmns = 16384
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl = 100
set semsys:seminfo_semopm = 100
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu = 2048
set semsys:seminfo_semume = 256
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmap = 1026
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmax = 65535
set rlim_fd_cur=1024
Queue managers are generally independent of each other.
Therefore system kernel parameters, such as shmmni, semmni, semmns,
and semmnu, need to allow for the number of queue managers in the
system.
- Reboot the operating system.
