Tunables for the Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation Suite: Optimizing for Performance and Failover

Overview There are several areas of performance - failover times, SCSI queue depth management, and so on - that can be optimized by judicious and careful use of certain user-tunable kernel-level variables described below. Because many of these variables are interdependent with other variables and are global in nature, please approach any changes to them with extreme caution. Sun's SAN engineering philosophy is to provide a tested, optimized stack that operates with all Sun-sold storage devices in a seamless, interoperable manner, without requiring any user configuration of the driver stack. This is very different from other vendors, who often require that one edits their driver stacks to make them work.
