What are the ideal ulimit settings for root user in AIX?

Hi,

what are the ideal/best/recommended ulimit settings for a root user in AIX?
I understand that it depends on our environment. But I would like to know...what are settings you guys use in your environment for best performance.

default:

Code:

        fsize = 2097151
        core = 2097151
        cpu = -1
        data = 262144
        rss = 65536
        stack = 65536
        nofiles = 2000

can i make it unlimited ? I tried changing it to unlimited. I do not see any issues so far from past few weeks.

my current settings

Code:

time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         unlimited
stack(kbytes)        32768
memory(kbytes)       unlimited
coredump(blocks)     2097151
nofiles(descriptors) 9000
threads(per process) unlimited
processes(per user)  unlimited

can you please suggest the recommended settings based on your experience.

Thanks,
