Configuring and tuning the operating system on AIX
When installing IBM® MQ on AIX® systems, there are some additional settings that must be configured.
About this task
When you install IBM MQ on AIX systems, you must configure the following operating
system settings:
- File descriptors
- System resource limits
Procedure
What to do next
You can check your system configuration using the mqconfig command.
During high load IBM MQ can use virtual memory (swap space). If virtual memory becomes full it could cause IBM MQ processes to fail or become unstable, affecting the system.
To prevent this situation your IBM MQ administrator should ensure that the system has been allocated enough virtual memory as specified in the operating system guidelines.
For more information on configuring your system, see the technote How to configure UNIX and Linux® systems for IBM MQ.
