Modifying kernel parameters (HP-UX)
For your DB2 database
product to perform properly on HP-UX, you might need to update your
system's kernel configuration parameters. If you update your kernel
configuration parameter values, you must restart your computer.
Kernel parameter requirements ( Linux )
Starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2, the database manager
uses a new formula to automatically adjust kernel parameter settings,
eliminating the need for manual updates. For earlier fix pack versions,
you must manually update the kernel parameter settings.
Modifying kernel parameters (Linux) Starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2, you no longer
need to update Linux kernel
parameters related to interprocess communication (IPC). For Version
9.7 Fix Pack 1 or earlier, the enforced minimum settings for
particular kernel parameters might not be sufficient to run a DB2 database
system and you might need to update them before installing a DB2 database
product.
Modifying kernel parameters (Solaris Operating System)
For the DB2 database
system to operate properly, it is recommended that you update your
system's kernel configuration parameters. You can use the db2osconf utility
to suggest recommended kernel parameters. If you want to take advantage
of project resource controls (/etc/project), consult your Solaris
documentation.
