On AIX, Tru64 (Digital UNIX), and HP UNIX systems, you can create an
unwired (swappable) memory pool to increase total available memory.
Unwired memory can be paged. To create the unwired memory pool, use the
command-line switch. Specify this switch as the number of MB of
iqsmem
unwired memory. The maximum value for
example, to add 1GB of unwired memory you specify:
-iqsmem 1000
For this version, on some platforms there is no difference between wired
Note
and unwired memory:
•
On Sun Solaris,
-iqwmem
specify
on this platform.
-iqsmem
•
On HP, AIX, and Tru64,
you start the server as root. They provide unwired memory if you are not
root when you start the server. This behavior may change in a future
version.
The
startup utility sets
start_asiq
automatically. On Tru64 (Digital UNIX) systems,
automatically, but the range of permissible values is up to 28,000MB.
-iqsmem
See the Adaptive Server IQ Installation and Configuration Guide for your
platform for the range of permissible values.
Remember, the memory used for buffer caches comes out of a pool of memory
used by all applications and databases. If you try to run multiple servers or
multiple databases on the same machine at the same time, or if you have other
applications running that use shared memory, you may need to make your
buffer caches smaller.
You may also be unable to get all of memory you request in
server log reports how much memory you actually get:
