Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Release Notes

amtune should set thread pool size at 3 times the number of CPUs or cores for CMT servers (CR 6631123)

The optimal size of Access Manager's notification thread pool size (com.iplanet.am.notification.threadpool.size in AMConfig.properties) was 3 times the number of CPU's where Access Manager is deployed or the number of cores in cases of CMT servers like Niagara I and II (Sun Fire T1000/2000 and T5120/T5220 servers). The current amtune-identity sets the maximum number of thread pools at 28 regardless of number of CPU's and calculates the optimal value based on the available amount of memory.

Workaround

Increase the value in the com.iplanet.am.notification.threadpool.size property in AMConfig.properties by three times the number of CPU's or cores in cases of CMT servers (e.g., T1000/T2000 or T5210/T5220 servers), overriding the recommended values by amtune-identity script.
