  (A) set maxphys  To improve basic disk performance  maxphys is the maximum size of physical I/O requests. If a driver sees a request larger than this size, the driver breaks the request into maxphys size chunks. File systems can and do impose their own limit. This value should be higher than all other settings (vol_maxio, vol_maxspecialio etc) such as in Filesystems/Volume Manager etc. maxphys is set in bytes.  Maximum number of page I/O requests that can be queued by the paging system. This number is divided by 4 to get the actual maximum used by the paging system. It is used to throttle the number of requests as well as to control process swapping. maxpgio is in I/O's.  C)Set FastScan  (Is Calculated by Multipliying 32678 for Physical Memory D)Set Handspreadpages(Is Calculated by Multipliying 32678 for Physical Memory  The Solaris environment uses a two-handed clock algorithm to look for pages that are candidates for reclaiming when memory is low. The first hand o

Creating the metaset is a simple process. First of all we define our metaset and add our host to it. bash-3.00# metaset -s test -a -h avalon Syntax is pretty straightforward: -s is used to specify which metaset we’re using -a is the add flag. Guess what -d does? -h specifies the hostname which owns this metaset All metasets are owned by at least one host (it’s how they track who can access them). If you’re in a cluster environment, multiple hosts will own the metaset, allowing the cluster software to move the metadevices between nodes. For a single hosted metaset, however, we just need to add one host, and we need to make sure that it will automatically take ownership and import the metaset on boot. All we have to do to make this happen is enable the autotake flag on the metaset: bash-3.00# metaset -s test -A enable And that completes the setup of the metaset. We then just select which LUNs we’re interested in, and add them in to the metaset: bash-3.00# metaset -s test -a
