Configuring the parallel engine (AIX® Linux®)

Complete the following tasks to configure the parallel engine.

Setting the maximum number of processes for parallel jobs (AIX)
The setting of the maxuproc kernel parameter on each parallel engine node controls the maximum number of processes per user for that node. Use the chdev command to set an appropriate value.
Setting per-user kernel parameters for parallel jobs (AIX)
Per-user kernel parameters ensure that users who run parallel jobs have sufficient resources. Use the chuser command to set appropriate values.
Setting the paging space for the parallel engine
To process parallel jobs that have large amounts of data, specify the minimum paging space settings.
Updating the /etc/magic file
Edit the /etc/magic file to include data set descriptor files for the parallel engine.
