Parameter
ES/TABLE
Short text
Selection of ES implementation
Parameter Description
ES_TABLE = SHM_SEGS activates the alternative (shared-memory-based) implementation of extended memory. This is only implemented for AIX, since the required operating prerequisites only exist in AIX. The extended memory based on shared memory has the characteristic that the sum of the extended memory in all user contexts is no longer subject to the restrictions of the 32 bit address space and can be almost any size.
The default value STD_UNIX stands for the “normal” implementation (with mmap).
