Tuning Performance for Single Disks
UNIX frequently operates with multiple disks in the system.
In this case, UNIX can use the power of the multitasking/
multithreading capabilities of SCSI adapters. The UNIX SCSI
Manager default parameters are set to take advantage of this.
However, in a case where only a single disk is attached to a system,
perform. the following steps to optimize the setup:
1.
To change directories to the /etc/conf/pack.d/Sdsk directory,
type the following and press
Enter:
cd /etc/conf/pack.d/Sdsk
2.
Using the vi editor, type the following and press
Enter
to edit
the file space.c. in this directory:
vi space.c
3.
To search for the string NUM_OUT = 4 and replace it with
NUM_OUT = 15, type the following and press
Enter:
:g/NUM_OUT 4/s//NUM_OUT
15
4.
Type :
wq
and press
Enter
to save the file.
5.
To relink the kernel and enable the new capability, type the
following and press
Enter:
cd /etc/conf/cf.d
./link-unix
6.
