How to list current NFSD_SERVER threads used

[iowaprogrammer]

Is their a command to get the Number of max. NFS Servers (threads) currently running in a solaris 10 system. Trying to tune this option and am not sure how to tell how many are being used? Currently have this set to the default of 16 and am looking to increase it to 32.

ps -efL | grep nfsd might help. Columns 4 and 5 are the LWP (lightweight process = thread) ID and number of LWPs, respectively.

If I have NFSD_SERVERS set at the default of 16...wouldn't this show 16 instead of 18? So if I increased the NFSD_SERVER to 32 I would then possibly see 34? Just try to get a handle on this NFS stuff

It's possible that 16 of those 18 threads are true "worker" threads, and the other 2 are either lazy... or they are management.

So, yes, you'll probably see 34.
