I agree with you David that understanding DB broker startup parameters can be challenging, and not just for people who are new the the platform. This is an area where the docs (dmadm and dpspr) could use an overhaul. When you have multiple brokers you should set -Mpb (servers per broker) for each one. The value of -Mn should then be (at least) the sum of all -Mpb values plus the number of secondary brokers. The value of Mn determines the number of records in the _Servers VST (it is Mn + 1). Each broker, 4GL server, and SQL server takes one record. Each broker's -Mpb should be high enough for the number of servers you want it to spawn, and you should always specify -ServerType (4GL or SQL) on brokers. Your Mpb values should determine Mn, not the other way around.
