Summary

This chapter looked at several major operating systems in detail. It is important to realize that this data is volatile and may have changed slightly by the time you read this. The database and OS marketplace is changing quickly.

Windows NT is a relatively young OS—and NetWare SMP and OS/2 are even younger. As these and other OSes evolve, the methods of tuning and configuring these OSes is also changing. This chapter attempted to provide the methodology and function of the tuning changes as well as the parameters themselves. It is unlikely that the functionality of these parameters will change. However, it is likely that the things which typically require intervention will become more dynamic; already, the interfaces to these parameters are now done with graphical interfaces.

Always refer to the documentation that comes with your operating system to check for changes to the parameters listed in this chapter. As operating systems grow and are modified to support new devices and architectures, the performance characteristics may change. You should always do careful analysis and testing before putting any tuning changes into production.
