Hi Guys,

We are installing MQ version 7 on our AIX server. When I checked the quick beginnings guide, it says the file descriptors must be increased to 10,000 to aviod any future problems and also data and stack segment limit must be set to unlimited.

When I checked the above using ulimit -a, I see

$ ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) 2097151
data(kbytes) 131072
stack(kbytes) 32768
memory(kbytes) 32768
coredump(blocks) 2097151
nofiles(descriptors) 2000

and with ulimit -aH

$ ulimit -aH
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) 2097151
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 4194304
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) unlimited

From the above figures, I need to change stack to unlimited and filedescriptors to 10,000.

Does MQ on AIX doesn't allocate the resources by itself? Do we need to set them explicitly?

AIX (like most Unix) protects itself by preventing applications going crazy with resources. Some decisions are left to the Unix admin, and expressed via the kernel settings.

So WMQ, like all applications, will allocate as required by itself provided the thresholds are set high enough to allow it to do so.

OK.

So, do I need to increase the file descriptors and stack limit ?
