Maximum Servers (-Mn)

Operating system and syntax UNIX / Windows 
-Mn n
Use with Maximum value Minimum value Single-user default Multi-user default
DBS – 1 – 4
n
The maximum number of remote client servers that can be started on the system. The value specified is always incremented by 1 to provide a server for the primary login broker.

Use Maximum Servers (-Mn) to limit the number of remote user servers that can be started by the broker process. The performance tradeoff to consider is swapping overhead for many servers versus overloading (slowing down) a server with too many clients. Also, use Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi) to adjust the actual number of servers in use.

To modify this parameter while the database is online, use PROUTIL INCREASETO.

Note: The maximum value for the number of servers that can be started for a database is limited by available resources of the operating system.

See Maximum Clients per Server (-Ma) and Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi) for more information.

You can use this parameter to support continuous operation of the database. For more information, see Change database parameters while the database is running.
