Tuning the Web Server for Solaris

You must tune the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server for optimal performance.

To tune the Sun ONE Web server

  1. Using a text editor such as vi, open the file Webserver_root/config/magnus.conf

    2. where:

    Webserver_root = the root path of the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web Server.

  2. Set the parameter RqThrottle to 1024.

    3. The RqThrottle parameter specifies the maximum number of simultaneous transactions the Web server can handle. The default value is 512. By changing this value to 1024 you can minimize latencies for the transactions that are performed.

  3. Add or modify the MaxKeepAliveConnections parameter value to 1000. The default value is 200.
  4. Save your modifications to the magnus.conf file.
  5. Restart the Web server.

    6. After making the changes above to the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server parameters, you should change the following parameters on the workstation hosting the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server.

  6. Open the /etc/system for editing.
  7. Set the following Solaris system parameters:
