I've been experimenting with LARGE PAGES.  At this time I've just been trying 
to get a TSM instance to come up with 64k pages.  I'll play with 16mb pages 
later.  

This WORKS - manual startup after changing to the db2 owner.
  
Su - tsmuser   (db2 owner)
LDR_CNTRL=TEXTPSIZE=64K@STACKPSIZE=64K@SHMPSIZE=64K@DATAPSIZE=64K ./dsmserv -i 
/tsmdata/tsmoc/config  &

This DOESN'T work - starting it via the rc.dsmserv script.

<become root>
LDR_CNTRL=TEXTPSIZE=64K@STACKPSIZE=64K@SHMPSIZE=64K@DATAPSIZE=64K 
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.dsmserv -u tsmuser -i /tsmdata/${tsm}/config -q

I understand why - the rc.dsmserv script performs a "su -" to the db2 instance 
owner.  This creates a new login environment for the instance owner, and thus 
doesn't pass the LDR_CNTRL env var.  I could use a custom script to start 
dsmserv, but I'm wondering how you are starting it.

Q)  How are you starting up dsmserv to enable LARGE PAGES?

Thanks

Rick
