We run multiple instances on the same machine right now. The kernel parameters need not change unless your instances are huge. (Ours are pretty big, ~100+GB, and we didn't have to change them.) The two key concerns are that the SERVERNUM parameters are unique in each instance's config file, and that they all respond to different ports in /etc/services. phuoc ho wrote in message <71t2ok$aok$1@news.xmission.com>... > >I have checked both the new and old System Administration: Informix Dynamic >Server training manuals.
