slice

Sets a configuration parameter for a specific slice (identified by a positive integer) or for all slices by using the keyword all.

The syntax of this parameter in the DB_CONFIG file is a single line with the string slice, one or more whitespace characters, the slice number or all, one or more whitespace characters, and the parameter you want to set for the slice. Note that slice numbers start at 0. For example:

set_slice_count 4
slice 0 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice0
slice 1 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice1
slice 2 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice2
slice 3 home_dir /export/dbenv/slices/slice3
slice all set_cachesize 2 524288000 1 

If slice support has not been compiled into the database, then this parameter is ignored.
