+MAXSERVERS

The +MAXSERVERS parameter specifies the maximum number of disk and tape servers for processing. You can specify this parameter at configuration time to prevent other users from utilizing excessive server jobs. You can request the number of servers with the +SVRDISK and +SVRTAPE parameters. This is a system-only parameter that sets a limit for what can be specified for those two parameters in utility jobs.
