Our Portal Server is running on Solaris 10. In Solaris 10, we use the following ‘projmod’ commands to set system parameters. After making the changes, we must logout then login to take these changes into effect. To examine your current settings, do ‘cat /etc/project’.

projmod -s -K 'project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,4294967296,deny)' user.root

projmod -s -K 'project.max-shm-ids=(privileged,1024,deny)' user.root

projmod -s -K 'project.max-sem-ids=(privileged,1024,deny)' user.root

projmod -s -K 'process.max-sem-nsems=(privileged,4098,deny)' user.root

projmod -s -K 'process.max-sem-ops=(privileged,16384,deny)' user.root

projmod -s -K 'process.max-file-descriptor=(privileged,16384,deny)' user.root
