UNIX Kernel Tuning for HELIOS

We recommend to consult your hardware vendor, e.g. Sun support. They will know best what kind of tuning is appropriate for your server configuration.

 

All HELIOS supported platforms will work without any tuning for small user sites. We do not recommend to apply kernel tuning parameters, unless you know exactly what you are doing.

 

Depending on the platform and the used OS, UNIX kernel tuning differs. The following list contains URLs that point to the respective web pages.

Solaris	Solaris Tunable Parameters Reference Manual
AIX	AIX 5L Performance Tools Handbook
Mac OS X	See sysctl command; visit http://www.apple.com for details
Linux	See sysctl command; see your Linux vendor documentation for details
