msgmnb kernel parameter ?

Hi ,
does someone know this kernet parameter ?
I would like to change it with SAM guide but the value remains unchanged to 65535 !! instead of 1 898 496 (new value ) .
I change the value with /stand/system file =>the value remains always unchanged !
My OS is 11.00 , 2 CPU , 1 Gb of memory .
Is it possible to change it ? Do i must use a formula to put the new value ?
Thanks for your help ,

Acceptable Values:

Minimum: 0
Maximum: min(msgseg * msgssz, 65535) bytes
Default: 16384 bytes

Specify integer value. For more information, see Specifying Parameter Values.

Re: msgmnb kernel parameter ?

msgmnb has to be greater than msgmax and less than or equal to msgssz times msgseq. Would that be limiting you?

65535 (64K) is the maximum allowed value for this parameter. You can reduce it but you cannot increase it beyond 64K. Directly editing /stand/system is not the preferred method. You should use the kmtune command and you must still then build a new kernel for the changes to take effect.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
