Modifying AIX system parameters

This procedure describes how to modify AIX system parameters, which enables you to allocate resources for Control-M components.

To modify AIX system parameters:

3. Type the following command:

   smit aio

4. Select the Change/Show Characteristics of Asynchronous I/O option.

   Type the parameter values, as described in AIX Asynchronous I/O parameters.

   NOTE: If your system uses more than seven hard disks for Asynchronous I/O, the Maximum number of servers setting must be increased by one for every active device after the seventh.

5. Click OK and wait for the operation to complete.
6. Click Done.

   Control returns to the main Asynchronous I/O menu.

7. Select the Configure Defined Asynchronous I/O option.
8. Press <F12> to exit from smit.
9. Log out.
10. Exit the shell prompt.

    NOTE: If State to be configured at system start is Available, you do not need to reboot the AIX system at the end of the procedure.
