The maximum number of remote client servers that can be started on the system.

Use Maximum Servers (-Mn) to limit the number of remote user servers that can be started by the broker process. The performance tradeoff to consider is swapping overhead for many servers versus overloading (slowing down) a server with too many clients.

This parameter applies only to databases that are accessed from remote network nodes.

Also, use Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi) to adjust the actual number of servers in use. See the Maximum Clients Per Server (-Ma) and Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi) startup parameters for more information.
