Re: Number of dbaccess/OS process per os session

Posted By: Art Kagel

In Response To: Re: Number of dbaccess/OS process per os session (jak aka)

OK, so you have 48 real CPU Cores, so if you disable the hardware threads
you can probably handle the 96 CPU VPs. With the threading turned on I
wouldn't set up more than 48 CPU VPs and I would definitely use the affinity
options to the VPCLASS cpu setting to pin the VPs to the first thread on
each core (careful Sun doesn't necessarily number the processors
sequentially and doesn't always start with zero - it depends on which slots
the processor boards are in).

On the ipcshm NETTYPE: If you turn shared memory connections back on, I
would have listeners running in at least half of the CPU VPs. Personally I
like them running in all CPU VPs but 96 listeners is more than you probably
need.

On the tlitcp NETTYPE: IBM says that a single listener can handle up to
about 1500 connections, but recommends that you keep it under about 350, so
if you want to handle 10,000 connections with less delay time, change that
to:

NETTYPE tlitcp 30,350,NET

Give that a shot.
