- Perhaps you can try to increase your streams buffer parameters.
- You have a pool of NBLK buffers (in your /usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel
- file, ranging from 4096 to 4 byte data blocks), which you can try
- increasing. These data blocks are used for your streams operations.
- If you run 'netstat -m', you'll see how many of each pool you are
- using, and which need to be increased. And as always when building
- a new kernel, make sure to save your old kernel as a backup to boot
- from.
-
- If you have more problems, give the hotline folks a call, so that
- we can look at your problem in more detail.
