In Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris, the default shared memory and
|
||||||
|
semaphore settings are good enough for most
|
||||||
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</> applications. Solaris now defaults
|
||||||
|
to a <varname>SHMMAX</> of one-quarter of system <acronym>RAM</>. If
|
||||||
|
you need to increase this in order to set shared memory settings
|
||||||
|
slightly higher, you should use a project setting associated
|
||||||
|
with the <literal>postgres</> user. For example, run the
|
||||||
|
following as <literal>root</>:
|
||||||
|
<programlisting>
|
||||||
|
projadd -c "PostgreSQL DB User" -K "project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,8GB,deny)" -U postgres -G postgres user.postgres
|
||||||
|
</programlisting>
|
||||||
</para>

This command adds the <literal>user.postgres</> project and
|
||||||
url="http://sunsite.uakom.sk/sunworldonline/swol-09-1997/swol-09-insidesolaris.html"></>
|
raises the shared memory maximum for the <literal>postgres</>
|
||||||
for information on shared memory under
|
user to 8GB, and takes effect the next time that user logs
|
||||||
<productname>Solaris</>.
|
in, or when you restart <productname>PostgreSQL</> (not reload).
|
||||||
|
The above assumes that <productname>PostgreSQL</> is run by
|
||||||
|
the <literal>postgres</> user in the <literal>postgres</>
|
||||||
|
group. No server reboot is required.

Other recommended kernel setting changes for database servers which will
|
||||||
|
have a large number of connections are:
|
||||||
|
<programlisting>
|
||||||
|
project.max-shm-ids=(priv,32768,deny)
|
||||||
|
project.max-sem-ids=(priv,4096,deny)
|
||||||
|
project.max-msg-ids=(priv,4096,deny)

||||||
|
</programlisting>
|
||||||
|
</para>

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Additionally, if you are running <productname>PostgreSQL</>
|
||||||
|
inside a zone, you may need to raise the zone resource usage
|
||||||
|
limits as well. See "Chapter2: Projects and Tasks" in the
|
||||||
|
<citetitle>Solaris 10 System Administrator's Guide</> for more
|
||||||
|
information on <literal>projects</> and <command>prctl</>.
