Details about semaphores & shared memory and how to calculate those values was once published in SunWorld Online, but the links I have are no longer valid. Based on the info in those docs, here's what I derived....

Suzy

forceload: sys/shmsys
forceload: sys/semsys

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10

set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4000
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=40
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=40
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=4000
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100

set semsys:seminfo_semume=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
