I would like to configure memory parameters such as SEMMSL and SEMMNI on my IBM AIX box. In which file and directory can see the original settings?
 
Hi Elgis,<br><br>Thanks for your reply. I run Oracle 8.1.6 on IBM RS 6000 SP running AIX 4.3.2. Due to increase in users and applications, I needed to increase my PROCESSES parameter in Oracle and couldn't because I suspect I don't have enough semaphores on the O/S.<br><br>In my experience the file to edit is /etc/system. However, this file does not exist on my system. I wonder if it is called a different name or if it resides on another location on AIX?<br><br>Grateful for your comments.<br><br>Dare.
 
Dave,<br><br>Have you checked out the &quot;Processes Per User&quot; paramater in smit? That <b>is</b> settable.<br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>
 
You can see that with<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>lsattr -El sys0<br></font><br>and chage it with<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=<font color=red>n</font><br><FONT FACE=monospace><br><br>Or, you can simply use <b>smitty chgsys</b><br><br>I hope it works...
 
Thanks Elgis, Thanks Michael. Both your suggestions point in the same RIGHT direction.
