Solaris Kernel Parameters

Hello,

    I was reading through an Oracle Install manual where it says to set the solaris kernel parameters to such:

      set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
      set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
      set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
      set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
      set semsys:seminfo_semmns=2000
      set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=1000
      set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
      set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
      set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767

Currently our settings in the etc/system file is set at:

      set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=1073741824
      set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
      set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=1000
      set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=200
      set semsys:seminfo_semmns=6000
      set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=1500
      set semsys:seminfo_semmni=1000
      set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100 (Not using this param)
      set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767 (Not using this param)
      set semsys:seminfo_semume=1000
      set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=1000
      set semsys:seminfo_semmap=1000

Could someone help explain these settings to me to help me decide if these settings are ok? I am running a single database on a SunE450, 2 cpu @ 300Mhz with 2 channel raid 5. The database is about 10Gbs.

Thanks,
Will
