Adjusting the AIX Kernel Parameters Unlike many other UNIX operating systems, AIX does not provide the ability to directly configure kernel parameters. Instead, the AIX kernel dynamically allocates and reallocates resources as they are needed (up to a predefined limit), making the traditional practice of tuning parameters unnecessary. The only tunable kernel parameter is maxuprc (maximum number of processes per user-ID) which can be modified via SMIT (AIX's menu-based system administration utility) or the command line utility chdev. To see a complete list of the parameters and their current values, run the lsattr command: % /etc/lsattr -E -l sys0 To see the current values assigned to a particular kernel parameter, use the lsattr command with the parameter name. For example: % /etc/lsattr -E -l sys0 -a maxuproc To change the value of the maxuproc parameter, use the chdev command. For example: % /etc/chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc = 200 As stated above, the AIX kernel dynamically allocates and reallocates resources as they are needed up to a predefined limit.

The limit I found was 50 phantoms per host process so if you needed to have more than 50 phantoms running you needed to start multiple host process to spawn a set number of processes. I was never able to find a tunable parameter to modify the limit.

There is a system-wide limit on the number of processes that you can initiate. If you can start no more processes when you issue a PHANTOM command, the following message appears: NO FREE PHANTOMS You cannot run a phantom process now. Wait a while, then try again. I was wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head, what determines this limit? Is it a static number, if so what, or is it user definable?
