Hi Johnson,

If OS is 11.X
You can use kcweb & kctune commands
or u can use SAM
Maxuser is dynamic value so no need to reboot server

Shalom,

If you use sam the first three commented steps are not required.

If the value you are changing requires a recompile of the kernel followed by reboot, SAM will tell you to do that.

Since you don't reveal your OS version.

kmtune -| grep maxusers
or
kctune -l | grep maxusers

To see your current configuration and if the parameters if dynamic. If it is dynamic you can do the change without a reboot.

Hi,

#kmtune -s maxusers=

eg: #kmtune -s maxusers=50

The above command will set the maxusers value to 200

#kmtune -s maxusers+100

The above command will increase the current value of maxusers by 100

#kmtune -q maxusers (Will show the current value of maxusers)

Hi,

You can use SAM or kctune or kmtune for changin the values.
kctune is for 11.23 and above
kmtune is for 11.22 and below OS ver.

just give
kctune =

If you will use same, you dont need to rebuild the kernal by yourself by command line. SAM will perform this for you.
