maximum-lus

maximum-lus

Use the maximum-lusTN3270 configuration command to limit the number of LU control blocks that will be allocated for TN3270 server use. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.

maximum-lus number no maximum-lus

Syntax Description

 

number

Maximum number of LU control blocks allowed. The

 

allowed range is 0 to 32000. However, the practical upper

 

limit for concurrently operating TN3270 sessions depends

 

on the hardware and usage characteristics. The default is

 

2100.

Default

Because of the license structure, the default is 2100, which represents the limit of a typical license (2000) plus a 5 percent buffer. If you configure a value greater than the default, a license reminder is displayed.

Command Mode

TN3270 configuration

Usage Guidelines

Although the value may be varied at any time, reducing it below the current number of LU control blocks will not release those blocks until a PU is inactivated by DACTPU or by using the no pu command.

If the number of LUs in use reaches 94 percent of the current setting of maximum-lus, a warning message is displayed on the console. To prevent constant warning displays, the threshold for generating such messages is raised for a period.

The TN3270 server attempts to allocate one LU control block for each LU activated by the hosts. In the case of dynamic definition of dependent LU (DDDLU) the control block is allocated when the client requests the LU, in anticipation of an ACTLU from the SSCP host.

By limiting the number of LU control blocks allocated, you can make sure enough memory is available to support other CIP functions. The control blocks themselves take about 1 K bytes per LU. During session activity, a further 2 K per LU may be needed for data. On a CIP, 32 MB of memory will support 4000 LUs. To support more than 4000 LUs, we recommend 64 MB of memory.

Example

The following command allows 5000 LU control blocks to be allocated:

maximum-lus 5000
