* Parameter Value:
Kernel parameter value is changed only if it increases the
current setting, except as noted below.
** Ignored:
Kernel parameter value is unchanged.
*** Formula:
The value is determined using the formula: MIN (15, MAX (3,
40000/Memory)) where Memory is in Megabytes.
This formula sets 20 percent of the memory for the static buffer
cache up to a maximum of 400MB (when system has 2667MB
memory). However, the minimum allowable parameter value
is 3 percent, which takes effect when a system of 13333MB is
encountered.
The formula is applied only if the current values of
dbc_min_pct and dbc_max_pct are the defaults (5 and 50
respectively).
— Alters selected system configuration files to ease NFS, AutoFS, and NIS+
configuration.
— Makes other system changes to correct minor nuisances and oversights.
