Re: [nv-l] nvpagerd - PAGE_Q full error

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

You can.  I said so before.  That feature was added as part APAR IY29166 in 7.1.2.
The conclusion of that APAR reads as follows:

The paging queue on Solaris is still fixed, but the default                     
size has been raised to 500 pages.  In addition, a new option,                  
-q <size> , has been added to the nvpagerd daemon                               
on Solaris.  The user can set this value to whatever size is                    
more suitable for him.                                                          
Users who wish to set their own size limit should                               
edit the /usr/OV/lrf/nvpagerd.lrf file and add the -q <size>                    
option there, just as they might add the -d or -w options for                   
debug tracing or using the warm file.  It is then necessary to                  
ovstop nvpagerd, and do first ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/nvpagerd.lrf                 
and then ovaddobj /usr/OV/lrf/nvpagerd.lrf to change the options                
before starting the daemon again.  A new message has been added                 
to the nvpagerd.alog file which documents the queue size in use.                
Note that the use of this new option has not been added to the                  
serversetup dialog at this time.                                                
This fix is first available in NetView for Solaris Version                      
7.1.2.

I am using Solaris 8 with NetView 7.1.3.  i do remember seeing another 
message that stated a limit of 500.  i wish I could change this.

I believe the reason is that on Solaris they use the shared memory feature which architecturally different than AIX. Somebody jump in here if I'm off base. The default size for Solaris is 500 pages I think.
