Maximum number of network clients for IBM HTTP Server

This MaxClients variable is used to increase the number of IBM® HTTP Server (IHS) network clients to accommodate the amount of concurrent load to be expected on the system.

The highest ECM workload level that was used for the scale-out test involved 1000 virtual ICN users at a maximum.

In this case study:
  1. File /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/conf/httpd.conf was edited so that the value of MaxClients was increased from 600 to 1000.
  2. The IBM HTTP Server was restarted.
