Installation Prerequisites for the Agent on Sun Solaris

Before you install the UNIX agent on a Sun Solaris computer, you must ensure that the required minimum kernel configuration parameters are set.

To set or modify the kernel configuration parameters for Solaris 5.10

For Solaris 5.10, the resource control configuration parameter max-shm-memory must be set to 5242880

or higher and the max-sem-ids parameter must be set to 256 or higher.

1. Query the current values of these parameters using the prctl command, for example:

   prctl -P -n project.max-shm-memory -i project user.root
   

   prctl -P -n project.max-sem-ids -i project user.root
   

2. If the resource control configuration parameters need to be updated, use one of the following commands:
   • Use prctl to modify resource control configuration parameters, for example:

     prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 5242880 -r -i project user.root
     

     prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -v 256 -r -i project user.root
     

     Note: Configuration parameters modified using the prctl command are not persistent and you need to run the commands again after the system is restarted.

   • Use projmod to modify resource control configuration parameters, for example:

     projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,5242880,deny)" user.root
     

     projmod -s -K "project.max-sem-ids=(priv,256,deny)" user.root
     

     Note: Configuration parameters modified using the projmod command are persistent after the system is restarted.
