3.5.13 Notes for AIX

(1) Environment variables PSALLOC and NODISCLAIM

In AIX, if memory becomes insufficient in the OS, SIGKILL might be issued and the process terminated.

To avoid this problem, set the environment variable PSALLOC=early for the user who starts APM. After this, start the JP1/ESA^#1 and APM processes. When you set the environment variable PSALLOC to early, specify the environment variable NODISCLAIM=true at the same time.

To do this, add the setting to the /usr/CM2/APM/bin/apmstart command.^#2

For example:

            :
ATH=$PATH:/opt/CM2/APM/bin:/usr/CM2/APM/bin:/bin
export PATH
 
PSALLOC=early
export PSALLOC
NODISCLAIM=true
export NODISCLAIM
 
#
# snmp port is not read from /etc/services
#
            :

#1

For details about how to set up ESA, see the manual JP1/Extensible SNMP Agent Description, Operator's Guide and Reference.

#2

When specifying the environment variable setting to the apmstart command, add the setting at the start of the command.
