Does anyone know how you can determine the maximum number of processes
allowed on one node of a V5.1B 2-node cluster? I understand that the process
table size is determined from the maxusers kernel parameter.
We recently ran out of processes on one of the nodes. maxusers was set to
1024 and we got the following error in /var/adm/messages:
vmunix: pid table is full
Maxusers was then increased to 2048 and we got the following message in
/var/adm/messages
vmunix: expanded pid table from 32768 to 65536
So, that means the pid table was 32768 to begin with, but what does that
translate to in terms of number of allowed processes? We seemed to come
unstuck at about 500 processes.
TIA,
Mark.
