Attached are the tunable parameters pretty much as delivered, I've changed timeslice to 10 on recommendation (and having looked at the forums quite a bit) and semume to 4096 which seems rather high to me (what happens if it is too high?) The rest I'm hoping you'll give me some hints with.
Well over to you, I hope you're all up to your usual levels of generosity with advice.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Kernel parameter tuning comments please
This will prevent some types of cluster reformations if your system experiences heavy network traffic or "mini-hangs" of the Operating System.

Re: Kernel parameter tuning comments please
Your bufpages is looking interesting. It is set to NPROC*3. It is coming to 664*3= 1992 pages.
So, the buffer cache you have is 7.9 MB. Have a glance session open, type "m" and see how much is being listed under buffer cache. If it is only 8MB, then your application may slow down unless you are using raw partitions for your database. Also do not put a formula for bufpages.
I did a quick calculation. Verify it with glance.

maxswapchunks 4096
Is it true that you have a 8GB swap space?

SolutionTo enable the dynamic buffer cache (I would) you need to set *both* 'nbuf' and 'bufpages' to zero (0). Your 'nbuf' is non-zero.
Also, your 'maxvgs' of 80 is very high. If you really don't need 80 volume groups (!), I'd reduce that to something reasonable. Ten (10) is the default which allows volume groups 0-9. About 4-8KB of kernel locable memory is consumed for each increment in 'maxvgs'.

Re: Kernel parameter tuning comments please
Also check your glance output and see how yeur system parameters are being used (t: System table report) and see if anything is close to 75-80, then increase them as well.
If you are using 11i then few parameters are dynamic but at 11.0 you should change the potential parameters as mentioned above to a good enough value to avoide a requirement of reboot.
hope this helps..

Re: Kernel parameter tuning comments please
It's true there's 8G swap space and 1992 buffer pages. I think I'll be changing nbuf to zero and maxvgs down. NODE_TIMEOUT I'm a bit worried about, this is because serviceguard is new to me, I suppose it can't hurt.
I will also be changing maxswapchunks to max although perhaps after I've seen what the other changes do.
As for the system table report, this is also new to me, would I be right in saying the system needs to be under heavy load for these to show problems?
I awarded points by looking at which I could do most immediately, although all of this is really good information.
Sorry about the slow response, I've been out of the office for a few days.
