Minimum Clients Per Server (-Mi)
n
The number of remote users on a server before the broker starts another server. See the "Maximum Servers (-Mn)" section.
Use Minimum Clients per Server (-
Mi
) to specify the number of remote users on a server before the broker starts another server (up to the maximum number of servers). In addition, -Mi
and -Mn
apply only to databases that are accessed from remote network nodes.As remote users enter the database, the broker process starts just one server process for each n remote users, until the maximum number of servers (specified by the -
Mn
parameter) is started. If you specify a value of 1, the broker starts a new server for each of the first -Mn
remote users. Subsequent remote users are distributed evenly among the servers until the maximum number of users (-n
) or maximum clients per server (-Ma
) limits are reached.NOTE: If you are using SQL-92, you do not need to use -Mi
because the limit is always one client per server.Typically, you can leave -
Mi
and -Mn
at their default values. If you significantly increase -Mn
, you should also increase -Mi
. For example, if you set -Mn
to 10 to accommodate up to 40 or more remote users, increase -Mi
to 3 or 4 to prevent a situation where 10 servers were started for just 10 remote users.
