Maxuproc vs ulimit -u [processes(per user)]
Morning,

Somebody can tell me in AIX 6.1 what is the different between the maxuproc (lsattr -El sys0 | grep max) and the [processes(per user)] for a user.

Example:
Oracle is limited by :
#ulimit -u
processes(per user) unlimited

But lsattr -El sys0| grep maxuproc show me :
maxuproc 16384

So oracle is limited (number of process) or not ?

which of these command can i believe ? What is the real difference between these parameters ?

Thanks.

I believe that maxuproc represents the exact limit. If you need more than 16384, change it with chdev/smitty.Follow the official installation guide for your platform and Oracle version on docs.oracle.com, for example OracleŽ Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit) E24332-02.

Note that 16384 is the recommended value indicated in the installation guide.
