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.

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.

For more information about setting NUMBUFG, see Managing ATB storage with NUMBUFG.
