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, while 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. Model 204 obtains exactly the NUMBUFG number of buffers.
NUMBUFG essentially replaces both MINBUF and MAXBUF: MINBUF 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.
The minimum number of ATB buffers is:
NLRUQG * ((NSERVS + NSUBTKS) * MAXOBUF + 15)
If you set NUMBUFG to a lower value, it is reset to the calculated value.
