Tuning a UNIX domain manager to handle large numbers of fault-tolerant agents

The performance of domain managers on UNIX is impacted if they serve large numbers of fault-tolerant agents. Improvements can be obtained by modifying the kernel parameters. The precise settings differ according to operating system, and you might need to test different settings to obtain optimum performance.

The following is an example of the kernel settings for HP-UX to handle approximately 200 fault-tolerant agents:

max_thread_proc=256
nprocess=1800
maxusers=120
maxuprc=1700
nflocks=500
maxfiles=1024
