Description
This tunable defines the number of STREAMS scheduler daemons to be run on a system.
If the tunable value is set to zero, the system determines the number of daemons to run based on the number
of processors in the system. A positive non zero tunable value is the number of "smpsched" daemons that will
be created on an MP system.
