Kernel parameters for db2 v8.2 on Solaris 10

Hi all,

Do you know how to change kernel parameters on Solaris 10 for DB2?

I just installed DB2 ESE v8.2 on a new Solaris 10 box. But during the
installation, it asks for changing the kernel parameter like this:

DBI1030E Kernel parameter MSGMNB must be set to 65535.

I know it can be changed on the /etc/system for Solaris 9, but no idea
how it can be done on Solaris 10.

Many thanks.

Actually there IS an etc/system file on Solaris 10. But the SA refused
my request because Solaris 10 provides the other way to change kernel
parameters, like project file, which can have less impact to the whole
server. The problem is DB2 have to use 3 users to work on it, doesn't
like Oracle, which only need one user ID. Anyone has experience on
this situation?

Any reply will be appreciated!

You may want to ensure you have the latest version of DB2 before creating
any instance (apply FP16 first). Solaris 10 wasn't out when 8.2 came out,
so things like this may have been broken by the new version of Solaris.
They should be addressed in later fixpaks.

Or, just go with DB2 9.5 - version 8 is near its end-of-service already anyway.

I don't remember the specifics now, but you have to use commands like
mkproj etc. and all the parameters are set per user, so I had to
repeat this for every user. But just googling for an "db2 solaris 10
kernel parameters" should yield answers. (Or even googling for oracle
solaris 10 kernel parameters, as they suffer the same limitation.)

I'm not entirely familiar with the details, but at our site we have
all instance owner users in the same Unix group, and the DBAs are also
in this group (as a secondary group). /etc/project then has an entry
with the kernel parms assigned to this group. Something like this:

group.db2iadm:1 00:DB2 Instance Owners project::db2iad m:project.max-msg-
ids=(priv,7168, deny);project.m ax-sem-ids=(priv,10240 ,deny);project. max-
shm-ids=(priv,8192, deny);project.m ax-shm-memory=(priv,
46066515148,den y)

hth,

Tony.. Had similar problem when I installed DB2 8.2 on Solaris , 3
instances etc but I choosed to put the changes to default ie all
instead of putting it to a specific user.

With Symmetrix, what are some of you seeing sd_max_throttle set to . A shop has it set to 20, which I believe is an EMC recommendation. Is this ok? It basically limits number of outstanding requests (cause of command tag queueing). I'm concerned that is is throttling back DB2 too much....Thx, Flick

Does anyone have any recommendations for setting kernel.shmmax and/or some of the other kernel parms that affect DB2, on a system that has 24-32GB of RAM available? I am also looking for a good resouce that describes what these parms really control. I want DB2 to take advantage of the large amount of RAM. These machines will have an average of 300-500 connections. The databases are about 300GB.

Is the C library of most OSes (i.e, unix type OSes) implemented at the very low kernel or just outside kernel level? Looking through the source tree of Linux/BSDs it seems like the C library is intertwined with the OS (string.h and other headers are there). So does this mean that when I program in C and use standard library functions, it's similar to calling the OS specific APIs (same type of performance)? Seeing all these Standard...

Hi to all python now has grown to a versatile language that can accomplish tasks for many different purposes. However, AFAIK, little is known about its ability of kernel coding. So I am wondering if python can do some kernel coding that used to be the private garden of C/C++. For example, can python intercept the input of keyboard on a system level? someone told me it's a kernel thing, isn't it?
