Solaris 10 - HOSTID changed ???
Hello everybody,
please , I need an urgent help.
I reinstalled our server Sun X4150. What was changed:
our two disks were changed to raid1 and I installed a never version of Solaris 10 (previously the version from 12/2009 was used, now a version from 03/2010).
what I'm surprised, the hostID changed. now please explain me what should I do when we have a signalware communication cards licenses generated on hostID which now doesn't work. I repeat again, HW didn't change.
thanks a lot for any help
bR

nfs3_max_transfer_size_cots(5) File Formats Manual nfs3_max_transfer_size_cots(5)
NAME
nfs3_max_transfer_size_cots - controls the data portion size of a NFS version 3 read, write, readdir, or readdirplus request over TCP
VALUES
Failsafe
Default
Allowed values
Recommended values
A warning will be issued at runtime if the tunable is set to a value greater than 1048576 since this is outside the tested limits. This is
not a serious warning but just an information message for the administrator.
DESCRIPTION
controls the maximum size of the data portion of a NFS version 3 read, write, readdir, or readdirplus request over TCP. This parameter con-
trols both the maximum size of a request that the server returns as well as the maximum size of a request that the client generates.
Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
Distributed file system administrators should examine this value if they want to decrease or increase the default size of a NFS version 3
packet over TCP.
Restrictions on Changing
The tunable is dynamic; however, the transfer size for a file system is set when the file system is mounted. To affect a particular file
system, unmount and mount the file system after changing this parameter.
The actual NFS version 3 transfer size over TCP is controlled by these tunable parameters: and The actual transfer size will depend on the
tunable with the smallest value. For NFS TCP traffic increase and to the same value to increase the transfer size. To decrease the transfer
size, just changing is sufficient.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
An increase in the transfer size will result in fewer requests to the NFS server at the expense of system resources on both the NFS client
and NFS server.
What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
Setting the limit large causes more system resources to be consumed by both the NFS client and NFS server.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
In the event of NFS communication failures, the value should be changed back to the default value.
What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
An increase in NFS version 3 network traffic over TCP caused by an increase in the number of I/O requests.

Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation,
some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun-
