Shared Memory segments

Hello....
AIX has a limit of 11 shared memory segments per process, does any one know how many HP have?? If so how do I find that out??
Thanks in advance......

This is a tunable kernel parameter called shmseg. So no one can tell what your limit is. I'm not an AIX expert, but I'll bet it is tunable there too.
