Toggle Solaris memory allocator#

This selection is will apply special configuration for older eDirectory versions (< 8.7.3.4) to improve performance and stability. This option must be run on all Solaris 9 servers just to make eDirectory load and function.

The option should be executed again anytime a patch is installed on the server (some patches overwrite these settings).

The latest information from Novell recommends that Solaris 9 eDirectory servers be configured to use the LIBUMEM memory allocator.

Available in build versions >= 20050816.

The toggle now detects the required OS patches and prompts to enable LIBUMEM. An example run is shown below.
