Description
An anticipatory write window that starts writes for any modified buffers that enter the window
When an anticipatory write for a modified buffer completes, the buffer is immediately reusable.
If NLRUQ is set greater than 1, then the value of LDKBMWND is rounded up to a multiple of NLRUQ. LDKBMWND has a minimum size of one (1).
High values of LDKBMWND might unnecessarily increase the number of writes done (measured by the DKWR statistic). Low values might cause excessive waiting for buffers (measured by the DKSWAIT statistic).
Refer to the Model 204 System Manager's Guide for more information about disk buffer monitor parameters and statistics.
