Solaris kernel parms

We are setting up a development/experimental box with both Informix and Oracle. (Sun V480, Solaris 9, Informix 9.4, Oracle 10G).

Both systems specify values for certain kernel parameters in /etc/system. Typically, the recommended values are different for Informix and Oracle. Usually, the Informix requirements are higher; for example, semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096 for Informix, but only 100 for Oracle.

Where Oracle and Informix kernel parameters differ, should I use the larger of the two? Or, perhaps, I should just use the sum of the two recommended values (for all of the parms)?

Comments solicited and welcome.

Thank you.

Regards,

DG
