System Limits Improved by Alex Trujillo Commercial Systems Division Scarce resources, such as the number of devices and processes, have limited customer logon capabilities for several MPE/iX releases. In MPE/iX Release 5.0, these scarce resources have increased significantly and improve logon connectivity for high-end MPE/iX customers. More Processes The number of available processes has been increased from 5460 to 8190. Depending on your system configuration, customers previously affected by process limits now have an adequate supply of processes for their applications. With this increase, you now have an adequate supply of processes for your applications and will no longer be affected by process limits. As in the past, the number of processes available still depends on your system's configuration. More Devices Secondly, the maximum number of configurable devices has been increased from 2330 to 4679. This means that you can configure up to 4679 devices (disks, tapes, printers, terminals, and pseudo terminals). The maximum SYSGEN configurable LDEV number is 4679. Please note that the number of devices on the system is different from the number of sessions than can log on to MPE. In addition, the output for SHOWIN and SHOWOUT has been modified to reflect these device increases. For details on these changes, please refer to the article "SHOWIN and SHOWOUT Changes" in the "Technical Articles" chapter in this Communicator . More Logons MPE/iX can now utilize high-end processor power more effectively. Depending on your application environment, the increase in devices and processes allows MPE to support 2700 active logons (no more than 1250 non local logons, particularly Virtual Terminal (VT) sessions). Your system logon limit varies depending on application resource usage (processes, data segments, devices, and so on). For more on logon capacity, please refer to the article "A Detailed Look At System Limits" in the "Technical Articles" chapter in this Communicator.
