Veritas File System requires that the values of the Solaris variables lwp_default_stksize and svc_default_stksize are at least 0x6000. 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:
# echo "lwp_default_stksize/X" | mdb -k lwp_default_stksize: lwp_default_stksize: 6000 # echo "svc_default_stksize/X" | mdb -k svc_default_stksize: svc_default_stksize: 6000
If the values shown are less than 6000, 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:
set lwp_default_stksize=0x6000 set rpcmod:svc_default_stksize=0x6000
