At my customer site many of the PQL_Mxxx values are higher than the
corresponding PQL_Dxxx value. I would have expected the minimum
values to always be lower than the default values. This occurs
on both a VAX and an Alpha running VMS 6.2-1h3. It affects such
things as ASTLM, DIOLM, BYTLM, but doesn't affect the working set
parameters.
Does it cause any problems with VMS if the min is higher than the
default?
Are there any cases where it makes sense to have a min > default?
Thanks,
Jerry

The PQL_M* minimum value will override the PQL_M* default value, if the default value is set below the minimum value. This rather perverse parameter configuration should not adversely affect OpenVMS operation. (I'd assume AUTOGEN is grumbling about these settings in its report.) I'd clean out MODPARAMS and re-AUTOGEN, as there's probably a large amount of other cruft present in this MODPARAMS file, too... | |||||

Nope. It's perfectly valid. The default is applied first to supply
every quota that is not specified to SYS$CREPRC and then the minimum is
applied to all quotas regardless of whether they were explicitly
specified or defaulted.
Note that the defaults are not relevant to processes that run LOGINOUT
and specify /AUTHORIZE (or the programming equivalent) since then
LOGINOUT will replace every quota set by SYS$CREPRC using the above logic
with the value from SYSUAF but will then reapply the appropriate minimum.
> Are there any cases where it makes sense to have a min > default?
Not much except that the minimum can be raised or lowered independently
of the default and so the logic that VMS applies and having a
reasonable default make sense.
