It actually doesn't matter whether it'll help or not.  The rule is "Always
humor the support people or they get snippy."  I recommend taking a deep
breath, doing it, and then telling them it didn't help.  Err, unless it does
help.

Subject: export AIXTHREAD_MNRATIO=1:1 : needed or not ?


Hi *SM'ers,

A quickie one : we're actually facing severe performance problems, log
filling at the speed of light etc etc, so we opened a PMR at IBM, and one of
the first advises I got was to add following lines in  rc.adsmserv. :
export AIXTHREAD_MNRATIO=1:1
export AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S

We are actually under AIX 3.3.3.0, using TSM server 4.2.3.1. My question is
: do I really have to implement those lines, as the header of rc.adsmserv
that was installed automatically specifies :

# 04/11/2001 rmf:No_MNRATIO:export AIXTHREAD* no longer required.
#                break links with tsm410s.lanfree and tsm420s.beta

So, what do you think ?
Thanks in advance.

Arnaud
