Instruction for Solaris.

1. Read man -s 4 system

2. Note - /etc/system is kernel config file that have been read once on
every boot.

3. Log in as root

4. MAKE BACKUP of your /etc/system

5. Edit /etc/system. Add or modify:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=500
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=2147483648

6. Save the file

7. Reboot.

8 In case of boot failure, use backup file (more info in man -s 4 system).

Oleg.
