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.
