This document (3445451) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Environment
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15
Oracle
Situation
# sysctl -a | grep aio
fs.aio-max-nr = 65536
fs.aio-nr = 60416
Sometimes the fs.aio-nr value equals thefs.aio-max-nrvalue. This parameter addresses the use of AIO on a SLES server.
Resolution
For example, you might add the following to the /etc/sysctl.conf
NOTE: Depending on your environment, you may need to adjust this value.
Turn on the boot.sysctl service
And reboot the server.
Confirm that the increased value has been set properly.No changes to the fs.aio-nr are needed.
