Original question:
I'm on a 4.0 box and I'm trying to reconfigure max-proc-per-user. I have
already reconfigured maxusers. I get an error when I do this:
#sysconfig -r proc max-proc-per-user=512 -v
subsystem error: Function not implemented
what am I doing wrong? I couldn't find the proc subsystem in sysconfigdb.
Should I be using that instead?
Answer:
It was suggested that I try dxkerneltuner but since I am remote, I couldn't.
(I would not recommend to anyone doing kernel stuff remotely, btw).
Between 3.2c and 4.0, Dec changed how to do kernel tuning. /etc/sysconfigtab
is not the way to go anymore, for some parameters. Here is what you need for
4.0.
You have to make a file with the proc stanza in it and then merge that with the
sysconfigtab using sysconfigdb. So the file should look something like
proc:
maxusers=whatever
max-proc-per-user=512
The command syntax is something like
sysconfigdb -f proc.stanza -a proc
Then reboot. Ought to do what you want.
Unlike 3.2c, this does not work:
#sysconfig -v -r proc max-proc-per-user=512
