Question & Answer
Question
Is it possible to set the ulimit on Linux for the Tivoli Storage Manager/DB2 instance ID only?
Cause
A Tivoli Storage Manager/ DB2 instance ID may have greater ulimit requirements than other users and not all users need to have the same ulimit's.
Answer
The limits.conf file on linux can be edited to configure a specific userid to have specific ulimit's.
Syntax: <domain> <type> <item> <value>
Domain can be
a username
a groupname, with @group syntax.
the wildcard *, for default entry - all users.
the wildcard %, for maxlogins limit only, can also be used with %group syntax.
Example:
* soft core 0
* hard nofile 512
tsminst1 hard nofile 65536
@student hard nproc 20
@faculty soft nproc 20
@faculty hard nproc 50
ftp hard nproc 0
@student - maxlogins 4
:123 hard cpu 5000
