maxprocs
maxswpchunks
msgseg
msgmap
msgssz

These parameters are now obsolete and do not exist in the kernel.

Oracles recommendations are based on outdated information and can be ignored in this case.

Some of them are, some aren't.

process_id_min / process_id_max and filecache_min / filecache_max are definitely in 11iv3 (the filecache ones are new starting with that release, in fact). DBC is obsoleted by filecache. If you aren't finding filecache_max or filecache_min, I'd like to know how you're trying to set them -- or the result of uname -a because there's no such thing as 11.31 without them.

nfile is still there, but shouldn't be used (deprecated).

msg* and maxswapchunks are gone (maxswapchunks has been gone since 11.22... I really wish whatever doc is telling folks to look at these would update).

For maxprocs and maxusers I assume you're referencing nproc (maximum processes) and maxuprc (maximum user processes). Those are both still there by those names and you can set them.

For future reference, by the way -- a lot of this is more easily determined since 11iv2 by just checking the tunable man pages (each tunable has one, and if it is removed the man page stating that is shipped in at least one release -- hence the ones from v2 removed in v3 still have v3 man pages). See filecache_max(5), etc.
