hi our fds stop without any error message , nothing in the logs when it is started , it take 11 , 12 % of cpu time our mailer works with fds so it s a bit critical there are about 2000 users and 6500 alias thanks for help do you think these parameters i havent change can explain this : NOTICE : The tcp_conn_req_max_q value is currently 128, which will limit the value of listen backlog which can be configured. It can be raised by adding to /etc/init.d/inetinit, after any adb command, an entry similar to: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_conn_req_max_q NDD_VALUE[10]=1024 NOTICE : The tcp_keepalive_interval is set to 7200000 milliseconds (120 minutes). This may cause temporary server congestion from lost client connections. An entry similar to the following should be added to /etc/init.d/inetinit: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_keepalive_interval NDD_VALUE[10]=600000 NOTICE : The NDD tcp_rexmit_interval_initial is currently set to 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds). This may cause packet loss for clients on Solaris 2.5.1 due to a bug in that version of Solaris. If the clients are not using Solaris 2.5.1, no problems should occur. NOTICE : If the directory service is intended only for LAN or private high-speed WAN environment, this interval can be reduced by adding an entry similar to the following to /etc/init.d/inetinit file: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_rexmit_interval_initial NDD_VALUE[10]=500 NOTICE : The NDD tcp_ip_abort_cinterval is currently set to 180000 milliseconds (180 seconds). This may cause long delays in establishing outgoing connections if the destination server is down. NOTICE : If the directory service is intended only for LAN or private high-speed WAN environment, this interval can be reduced by adding an entry similar to the following to /etc/init.d/inetinit file: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_ip_abort_cinterval NDD_VALUE[10]=10000 NOTICE : The NDD tcp_ip_abort_interval is currently set to 180000 milliseconds (180 seconds). This may cause long delays in detecting connection failure if the destination server is down. NOTICE : If the directory service is intended only for LAN or private high-speed WAN environment, this interval can be reduced by adding an entry similar to the following to /etc/init.d/inetinit: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_ip_abort_interval NDD_VALUE[10]=60000 NOTICE : The TCP initial sequence number generation is not based on RFC 1948. If this directory service is intended for external access, add the following to /etc/init.d/inetinit: ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_strong_iss 2 NOTICE : The NDD tcp_smallest_anon_port is currently 32768. This allows a maximum of 32768 simultaneous connections. More ports can be made available by adding an entry similar to the following to /etc/init.d/inetinit: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_smallest_anon_port NDD_VALUE[10]=8192 WARNING: tcp_deferred_ack_interval is currently 100 milliseconds. This will cause the operating system to insert artificial delays in the LDAP protocol. It should be reduced during load testing. An entry similar to the following can be added to the /etc/init.d/inetinit file: TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_deferred_ack_interval NDD_VALUE[10]=5 WARNING: There are only 256 file descriptors (soft limit) available, which limit the number of simultaneous connections. Additional file descriptors, up to 65536 (hard limit), are available by issuing 'ulimit' ('limit' for tcsh) command with proper arguments. ulimit -n 4096 NOTICE : / partition has less space available, 1584MB, than the largest allowable core file size of 2048MB. A daemon process which dumps core could cause the root partition to be filled. ERROR : The above errors MUST be corrected before proceeding.
