Changing SHMMAX setting - problem

We're trying to update the shared memory setting in /etc/system (increasing them as per the needs of an application running on the box).
Anyway, the settings aren't being changed after reboot. We've tried doing a forceload in /etc/system, but that also had no effect (the old memory settings were still loaded when we do a sysdef)
We're on Solaris 8, btw.
Anyone see this before or have any thoughts? Any help would be much appreciated.

How are you checking what SHMMAX is setup to after a reboot ? Are you using something like this :
sysdef | grep -i shmmax
And why are you fine tuning it in /etc/system ? Remember, shmmax only restricts a single shared ram segment's size - not the total amount of shared memory allowed on the box.
Many folks have found that setting SHMMAX to the following saves them reboots in the future:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff

  • Trying to put two video onto 1 disc, change encoder setting problems

    Video tape two differ events, trying to put them on same disc. First project in imovie on my MacBook Pro. was short (1min. 27sec.) the
    Second project was long 184.31 (med) Dimensions 640x360 size 2.3 GB (This is what it display for the long movie)  These video wasn't done in HD.
    When trying to put them on same disc (standard Disc 4.7 GB) I get this message: Your project exceeds the max. content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Infro window. I try to put the long one by it self onto a disc still get the same message. Heip please

    Update: I just made sure that the AP's go through the main router (AEBS) and do not talk to each other directly (which is what they were trying to). I managed to restrict access to them so that only that AEBS (and the other computers through the AEBS, not directly) talks to them. After this everything was smooth sailing.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

    If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
    Cheers.

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

  • Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

    Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting on the computer, and how?

    One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit.  ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering.  I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

  • Real problem after changing a setting (please read!!!)

    Hi all,
    This is the situation:
    A UBEE wifi modem from my cable provider.
    On the Ubee i connected my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) via UTP, and have set it to bridge mode.
    On the AEBS I have an Airport Express connected (via UTP) to extend my WiFi coverage.
    For the last few months this worked like a charm.
    Today I changed the setting on my Express not to create a network (a default setting), but to extend the network from my AEBS (the AEBS was always creating a network).
    And now, both my AEBS and Express can not be found anymore, resulting in no network and no internet.
    I disconnected the Express, but still the AEBS can't be found.
    I did a factory reset on the AEBS, but again, the AEBS can not be found.
    The problem is that I cannot connect the AEBS directly to the internet because of the UBEE wifi modem wich has default settings (meaning I didn't change them), and the AEBS must be used in Bridge mode to function properly.
    Please can someone please help me to get everything work again.
    I have both version 6 and 5.6 of Airport Utility.

    I fixed the problem myself by resetting both the AEBS and the AExpress to their factory defaults. Strangely though that the latest version of Airport Utility didn't recognize either one of them, but luckily the Airport Utility 5.6 did.
    So I recongigured first the AEBS, and when that worked as I wanted it to, I configured the Express.
    And everything is now up and running like a charm.

  • How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
    I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
    Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

    OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
    When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
    Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
    __deployment.config__
    It should look like this inside:
    *#deployment.config*
    *#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
    *# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
    *# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
    *# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
    deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
    If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
    How?
    Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
    Add this line:
    deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
    Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
    Add these lines:
    deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
    deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
    Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
    #NoTrayIcon
    #RequireAdmin
    #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
    #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
    #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
    Func _JavaConfig()
         $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
         $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
         FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
    FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
         FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
         FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
         Sleep(10000)
         FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
         FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
    EndFunc
    _JavaConfig()
    Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

  • Using translate function to correct character set problem....

    I have a table(TBL_STOCK) on Oracle XE.
    Rows come from sql server 2005 with a trigger on sql server table via the linked server.
    But there is a character set problem with some character like İ,Ş,Ğ.
    They change to Ý,Þ,Ð. in Oracle.
    How can i correct these ? Do you suggest the TRANSLATE function ?
    What do u think, if i create an After Insert trigger on Oracle table(TBL_STOCK) and convert these character using the Translate function when they inserted from sql server.
    Anyone have any other ideas that can be more efficient. Any thoughts appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    PS:The NLS_CHARACTERSET of Oracle is AL32UTF8.

    It is sql server 2005 and Collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

  • Change Default Setting in PDF Set Up Window to RGB

    Is it possible to change the default setting in the FrameMaker 11 PDF Set UP window to RGB. The current default setting is CMYK.
    I have not been able to find a way to do this.
    Thank-you for your assistance.
    Brenda

    Thank-you. This solved the problem.
    I have another questions. I am importing xml feeds into a FM11 using an automated process. After importing, the xml feeds are translated into a formatted FM11 file. When I perform a Save As in order to save the document as Document 11.0 (.fm), I am noticing that the default choice is to save the  document as XML. I need to choose Document 11.0 (.fm) before saving. I checked the FrameMaker template and its default setting Save As setting is Document 11.0 (.fm). Is there a way for me to change a setting so that the imported file has a default Save As setting of Document 11.0 (.fm)?

  • JDeveloper IDE simple setting problem

    Hi,
    Recently we switched to JDeveloper from Visual Cafe .I have a simple setting problem.How can I set the options so that IDE gives, the core java classes and packages,and our application classes and packeges, prompts in imports as well as in code.Where to set the options.
    eg: when I write
    import java. it should prompt all the pakages.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Gopal

    I am not sure I understand what you are requesting, but ...
    You can configure JDeveloper projects to include various libraries by default.
    This is done by selecting menu Tools | Default Project Properties.../ Libraries tab.
    You should define a library for your classes.
    You can import any of the packages / classes from all the libraries which your project includes.
    It would be incorrect for a tool to automatically add a bunch of import lines at the top of every file because each file should import what it needs and just as importantly, not import what it does not need depending on the component type (e.g. a servlet should not include javax.swing.* ).
    An easy way to import elements into JDeveloper is to type in something like:
    import java.
    // and then type in Ctrl Space
    and this launches the package browser, you can select packages or classes to import.
    You can also do this at the variable declaratiton point such as typing in:
    foo() {
    Frame x
    // Press Control Alt Space
    and this will correctly change the type (Frame) to the type you select in the package browser and add the import statement.
