B.  Revision History for This Manual

Index

Kernel Parameters

Process-Sizing Tunables

max_nprocs (Solaris 10 Releases)

The Solaris 10 description section was updated by removing the text “sun4m.”

General Driver Parameter

ddi_msix_alloc_limit (Solaris 10 Releases )

This parameter is new in the Solaris 10 10/09 release. For more information, see ddi_msix_alloc_limit.

General I/O Tunable Parameters

maxphys (Solaris 10 Releases)

The default value is updated to include sun4v systems. For more information, see maxphys.

General Kernel and Memory Parameters

zfs_arc_min (Solaris 10 Releases)

This parameter description is newly documented in the Solaris 10 10/09 release. For more information, see zfs_arc_min.

zfs_arc_max (Solaris 10 Releases)

This parameter description is newly documented in the Solaris 10 10/09 release. For more information, see zfs_arc_max.

noexec_user_stack (Solaris 10 Releases)

The Solaris 10 description section was updated by removing the text “and sun4m” and adding the text “64–bit SPARC and AMD64.”

lwp_default_stksize (Solaris 10 Releases)

The Solaris 10 description section was updated by adding default and maximum values for AMD64.

The Solaris 10 default value for SPARC platforms was changed to 24,576.

fsflush and Related Parameters

dopageflush (Solaris 10 Releases)

The description was clarified by including that number of physical memory pages are examined.

Paging-Related Tunable Parameters

maxpgio (Solaris 10 Releases)

In the Solaris 10 versions, the range value was incorrectly documented as 1 to 1024. The actual range depends on system architecture and I/O subsystems. For more information, see maxpgio.

General File System Parameters

ncsize (Solaris 10 Releases)

In previous Solaris 10 releases, the default value of the ncsize parameter was incorrectly described as follows:

4 x (v.v_proc + maxusers) + 320 / 100

The correct default value is as follows:

(4 x (v.v_proc + maxusers) + 320) + (4 x (v.v_proc + maxusers) + 320 / 100

For more information, see ncsize.

TMPFS Parameters

tmpfs:tmpfs_maxkmem (Solaris 10 Releases)

The range description is updated to include sun4v systems. For more information, see tmpfs:tmpfs_maxkmem.

SPARC System Specific Parameters (Solaris 10 Releases)

The title of the SPARC System Specific Parameters section was revised in the Solaris 10 8/07 release to include sun4v systems.

default_tsb_size (Solaris 10 Releases)

The default description has changed. For more information, see default_tsb_size.

enable_tsb_rss_sizing (Solaris 10 Releases)

The description and default and range values have changed. For more information, see enable_tsb_rss_sizing.

tsb_rss_factor (Solaris 10 Releases)

The when to change example text was changed to this:

For example, changing tsb_rss_factor to 256 (effectively, 50%) instead of 384 (effectively, 75%) might help eliminate virtual address conflicts in the TSB in some cases, but will use more kernel memory, particularly on a heavily loaded system.
