Veritas File System requires that the values of the Solaris variables lwp_default_stksize and svc_default_stksize are at least 0x6000 (for Solaris 10) and 0x8000 (for Solaris 11). When you install the Veritas File System package, VRTSvxfs
, the VRTSvxfs packaging scripts check the values of these variables in the kernel. If the values are less than the required values, VRTSvxfs increases the values and modifies the /etc/system
file with the required values. If the VRTSvxfs scripts increase the values, the installation proceeds as usual except that you must reboot and restart the installation program. A message displays if a reboot is required.
To avoid an unexpected need for a reboot, verify the values of the variables before installing Veritas File System. Use the following commands to check the values of the variables:
If the values shown are less than 6000 (for Solaris 10) and less than 8000 (for Solaris 11), you can expect a reboot after installation.
To avoid a reboot after installation, you can modify the /etc/system
file with the appropriate values. Reboot the system prior to installing the packages. Add the following lines to the /etc/system
file:
