Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide

access 12 data stores, add the following line to

/etc/system

and reboot

before using TimesTen:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=12

Other

changes

Other changes that you may need to make to your Solaris system
include the following:

• To allow a large number of connections to a data store, add the

following lines to

/etc/system

and reboot before using TimesTen:

set rlim_fd_cur=4096

set rlim_fd_max=4096

• To enable large shared memory objects in Solaris, add the following

line to

/etc/system

and reboot before using TimesTen:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x240000000

Note: The value

0x240000000

(a 24 followed by seven zeroes)

indicates that the largest shared memory segment that can be created
is 1024 MB. The size of the shared memory segment required for a
data store is larger than the data store size permanent size. Set this
value high enough to support the largest shared memory segment
needed.

Large data

stores

If you keep data stores on a Solaris UFS file system, and are using
transaction-consistent checkpoints, you may need to change the settings
of some kernel parameters to get the best performance for your
checkpoints. The Solaris UFS Throttle algorithm causes processes that
write a single large file to be put to sleep when a byte count threshold
exceeds the high-water mark. To disable the algorithm, add the line:

set ufs:ufs_WRITES = 0

to the /etc/system file.

Alternatively, you can increase the high-water mark by adding the line:

set ufs:ufs_HW = desired value

to the /etc/system.file

You must reboot the system for the new value to take effect.

Setting the high-water mark to the size of the checkpoint file should
provide satisfactory performance, although a lower value may as well.
More information on the UFS Throttle algorithm may be obtained in the
white paper, “Understanding Solaris Filesystems and Paging” (SMLI
TR-98-55) available from
