Adding pseudo terminals
When the number of pseudo terminals on the IBM AIX server is not enough, you
can use the smit configuration program to add pseudo terminals as follows:
1 Launch smit.
# smit
2 Select [Devices].
3 Select [PTY].
4 Select [Maximum number of BSD Pseudo-Terminals] and set it to 256. Now, the
number of supported pseudo terminals is 256.
n
Adding pseudo terminals on the IBM AIX server does not require reboot.
Modifying the maximum number of processes a user can open
By default, each IBM AIX user can open up to 128 processes. If a Unix server is to
be connected with many terminals (usually more than 50), change the value to
500. To do so, use the following commands:
# smit
After entering the menu interface, select the [system management] to open the
submenu.
From the submenu, select [change/show characteristics of operating system] and
change the value of [maximum number processes allowed per user] to 500.
After modification, you must reboot the server to bring your configuration into
effect. You do not need to change other system kernel parameters.
