When to Change

When NCA is running on a system with a lot of memory, increase this parameter to allow drivers to queue more packets of data. If a server is under heavy load, increase this parameter so that modules and drivers can process more data without dropping packets or getting backlogged.

Solaris 8 and later releases – Do not set this parameter to 0 on production systems. If you need to change this parameter, gradually increase this value, and monitor the system.

Solaris 7 and earlier releases – Do not set this parameter to 0 on production systems. If you need to change this parameter, gradually increase this value to a maximum of 100, and monitor the system.

Commitment Level

Unstable
