Platform specific Oracle Installation Guide will give a little information and Adrian Cockcroft's Sun Performance and Tuning, Second Edition book at least gives a better definition (than the Sun docs) of what each parameter does. There is also a fairly decent article from the Inside Solaris section of SunWorld Online:

Does anyone know a good reference for setting the Semaphore Facility and Shared Memory parameters in the /etc/system file? I have checked several books (Sun docs. at docs.sun.com, Essential Sys Admin from O'Reilly, and Oracle & UNIX perf. Tuning by Alomari, etc.) and have only found basic descriptions of what each of the parameters are for, rather than any mention of logic to applied to setting them based on system configuration.
