Maximum Data Size
To see the current data size limit in the C shell, enter:
limit datasize
The following command displays the current hard limit:
limit -h datasize
If the current limit is lower than the hard limit, you can easily raise the current limit. To change the current limit, enter:
limit datasize new_data_size
If the hard limit is too low, you must reconfigure and rebuild the kernel, and then reboot. This is most easily done using SAM.
To change maxdsiz, use the following path through the SAM menus:
Kernel Configuration > Configurable Parameters > maxdsiz > Actions > Modify Configurable Parameter > Specify New Formula/Value > Formula/Value
You can now enter the new maximum data segment size.
You may also need to change the value for maxdsiz_64.
Here is the command that lets you rebuild the kernel with these changed values:
Configurable Parameter > Actions > Process New Kernel
Answer yes to process the kernel modifications, yes to install the new kernel, and yes again to reboot the machine with the new kernel.
When the machine reboots, the value you set for maxdsiz should be the new hard limit.
