Gentle people:

    When adding more RAM to Solatis 8,9,10 systems
is there any S/W configuration requirement???

    I seem to vaguely remember something about having
to touch or change a file or files???

Thanks for the help

In 99% of situations there is no need to change the Solaris
configuration after increasing the amount of RAM in the machine.

Some application software requires you to adjust the sizes
of shared memory segments in the Solaris configuration file
/etc/system.  After increasing RAM, these adjustments might
need to be changed if the application wants them changed.
But understand that the SunOS operating system doesn't need
that setting to be changed - the application would.

Some application software may want to have its own configuration
changed in order to make use of more RAM.  An older version of
a SIP telephone switch package (not Asterisk, but similar) wanted
to have its memory constraints adjusted after increasing RAM.
However, there isn't a "yes" or "no" answer that applies to
all the different application software.  It will be different
for each one.

May be you are talking about:

touch /reconfigure .. that is used when you are adding new hardware
such as a network, HBA or SCSI card etc.
