Description
Allocate this number of buffer pool buffers above the bar (ATB).
- Prior to version 7.7 of Model 204:
NUMBUFG specifies the number of buffer pool buffers built ATB, and the number of buffer pool buffers built BTB is based on the setting of MINBUF, MAXBUF, and SPCORE.
- As of version 7.7:
If NUMBUFG is specified, no buffer pool buffers are built BTB; all buffers are ATB. The MINBUF parameter is automatically reset to 0, and MAXBUF and SPCORE are ignored.
The maximum number of buffers is 2**31/3, or 715,827,882, which limits buffer pools to 4.2 terabytes or less.
