Using /etc/system to Tune Parameters

Solaris software provides a system-wide file for tuning system parameters. In this section, we will look only at how to set tuning parameters in the NIC adapters that have been described. Exercise great care when using this file because direct access is given to global variables of the drivers. You cannot assume that drivers will compensate for exceeding minimum and maximum values set here.

Each parameter is added to the end of the file and is made of the set command followed by the driver module name, a colon (:), and then the parameter and its value. The following example illustrates this.

Once this file has been modified, the system must be rebooted for the changes to take effect.
