Different values from shmtest

Hello,

When I run shmtest command with the same unchanged uvconfig file as the parameter, I get different values for DMEMOFF, PMEMOFF, CMEMOFF & NMEMOFF for each run.

1) Why does that happen?

2) How to chose the right set of values?

Thanks,
Mav

1) The values returned by shmtest are affected by everything happening on the machine at the time. Presumably your total load varies over time.

2) Leave the settings at their default values unless advised to change them by IBM support.
