This can be done by setting an O/S system variable "lomempages" in /etc/ system. For instance, when 4 NICs are installed in a Solaris 7 system, the physically contiguous memory is calculated as follows: 4 NICs * 130K = 520 K ==> 130 pages of 4K is required. ASUS PEB-G21 User Guide 33 Since this memory might be used by other driver in the system, 200 of 4K of memory is allocated. [. . . ]
