> ``n``

> The maximum number of remote client servers that can be started on the system. The value specified is always incremented by 1 to provide a server for the primary login broker.

> Use Maximum Servers (-`Mn`) to limit the number of remote user servers that can be started by the broker process. The performance tradeoff to consider is swapping overhead for many servers versus overloading (slowing down) a server with too many clients. This parameter applies only to databases that are accessed from remote network nodes. Also, use Minimum Clients per Server (-`Mi`) to adjust the actual number of servers in use.

> See the "Maximum Clients per Server (-Ma)" section and the "Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi)" section for more information.
