    With "ipcs -s" I can see how many semaphores are used.
    But I didn't found any information about how many semaphores
    are possible.

    In AIX, the IPC structures are dynamically allocated and deallocated so the values are not configurable. But in AIX 5.3 on the 64-bit kernel the max number of sets is 1048576 and the max number of semaphores per set is 65535.
