RE: RTEMS Freezing

Well, put the ulimit -n  to the recommended setting of 8192 - not 2000.

Hi John
    I am not looking to push the limits, merely seeing strange behaviour 
in the event of a RTEMS failure, and I need to ensure standby RTEMS can 
cope with the load until normal service is resumed

IBM arrives at that limit by doing serious large scale testing and 
validating that the number of agents can be supported stably. When you 
surpass those limits you can kind of on your own. I have personally worked 
with customers that experienced instability at higher levels. You can lose 
a lot of time and money experiencing that instability. So.. you can make 
your own choices about that. 

The ulimit -n  [number of file descriptors] is very important. Each TCP 
connection requires one such element. We currently recommend that TEMS and 
WPAs be set up with ulinit -n 8192. The exact technique depends on 
platform.

Hi John 
    I'm not sure how IBM arrived at those limits, especially with 
Enterprise systems, but I think it's a constraint that can be overridden 
by the OS as opposed to one within the application 
  
Think its hitting a limit in Aix, have seen TEC etc start misbehaving when 
you have over 2000 concurrent connection 
  
ulimit -a 
time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         131072
stack(kbytes)        32768
memory(kbytes)       32768
coredump(blocks)     2097151
nofiles(descriptors) 2000 
  
/usr/local/BindView/bvcontrol/AIX/bin/lsof | grep kdsmain | wc -l
   1783 
very close to 2000, think it opens a dev file for every socket

It the Installation and Setup manual - we talk about a TEMS being able to 
support up to 1500 agents,  I know cases where the actual limit... based 
on workload and communications is more like 800-900. A Hub TEMS can 
support 10,000 agents. I know many sites that surpass those limits but 
they sometimes experience stability issues - crashes/waits etc. 

I suggest you create some new remote TEMSes, reduce the number of agents 
to the documented limits - or below - and then re-evaluate.

Hi All 
   RTEMS seems to freeze when the server has over 2000 concurrent 
connection, any parameters I can tune under Aix or look at?
