Tuning Kernel Settings

This topic is part of Tuning the Siebel Server for All UNIX and Linux Operating Systems.

To change the kernel settings

  1. Using a text editor such as vi, open the /etc/rc.net file for editing.

  2. Check the settings for all User Limits (ulimit) and make sure that they are set to -1 (unlimited), as follows:

    ulimit -a
    Note: Work with your system administrator to change the set limits as appropriate for your UNIX or Linux operating system. On AIX, for example, update the /etc/security/limits file by changing all ulimit parameter values to -1 (unlimited).

  3. Save your changes and exit the editor.

  4. Restart the server computer to have the new settings take effect.
