Re: Quanty of nptys I need ?

pty's are pseudo terminals and they are required one per concurrent terminal session.
if your 70 users are only using 1 terminal window each, 70 is your magic number but consdering there will always be hung sessions, smart users working with multiple terminal windows and such, 200 is a good number to start with.

Hope this helps

Re: Quanty of nptys I need ?

Hi,

Based on the ntpy & nstrpty, the maximum is memory limited. Check the url below for the details :

http://docs.hp.com/en/939/KCParms/KCparam.Npty.html
http://docs.hp.com/en/939/KCParms/KCparam.NstrPty.html

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

Make sure that all 3 parameters are set to 200: npty nstrtel nstrpty. Use SAM to change these values so that the required device files are also created.
