Sharedmem in AIX fails , if more than 10 sessions are used

[Shhyam]

Hi all

I'm using sharedmem for Lanfree DB2 backups , earlier i used 6 sessions it looks fine and all run in lanfree

Now i started to use 12 sessions , only 10 sessions are proxied in lanfree and 2 sessions failed .

'ANR8294W Shared Memory Session unable to initialize


Raised a support call and they mentioned to use

EXTSHM=ON

To make the change in the immediate shell, enter:

EXTSHM=ON

export EXTSHM

Enabled in Storage agent start script , but still it doesnt work

what is the limit in AIX preventing this ?

IBM server support team pls help .
