aix中调整vmm（Adjusting VMM in AIX） Adjust VMM AIX One The DB2 database (including INFORMIX) system, in many cases, database file cache, there is no need to file cache in the operating system level. It is necessary to limit the amount of memory for the operating system file cache, so that the DB2 (INFORMIX) database system can use more physical memory. This function can be set up through the AIX VMM (virtual memory manager) parameters. The following will introduce four related parameters. Maxfree:VMM idle memory list (freelist) maximum value. Minfree:VMM idle memory list (freelist) of the minimum value. Maxperm: set to allow the file cache accounted for the largest percentage of total physical memory. Minperm: set to allow the file cache for the minimum percentage of physical memory. Always maintain a free memory list in the virtual memory manager in AIX, if the memory list memory is less than minfree the specified value, then VMM will start the page stealer memory added to the free memory list has been stolen from the allocated memory, its content on Page Space. If the free memory list exceeds the value specified for maxfree, then page stealer will stop working memory stealing. So in the actual system, if the memory of the free list is always greater than or equal to the maxfree value set, then the system should be no shortage of memory. When page stealer, it checks the minperm and maxperm settings, if the file cache is less than minperm the value set, then it will at the same time from the file system cache memory and computing stealing page. When the file cache is greater than the value of maxperm set, it will only steal from the file system cache page. When the file transfer between deposit, unless the file cache is greater than the calculated repages cache repages, it will steal the page from the file system cache. Maxperm the default operating system setting value is 80, the database system, should be set to a smaller value, such as 40, in this way, we could reduc
