Start of changeDisplays the current status of the specified cell pool. Currently, the following cell pools are supported:
  • JET
  • OST
  • SEE
  • DOT
Start of changeThe following items are displayed for each type of buffer pool except as noted:
  • The number of buffers or cells in use.
  • The maximum number of buffers or cells used.
  • The number of secondary extents in use.
  • The maximum number of secondary extents used.
  • The number of reserved buffers in use (consoles only).
  • The maximum number of reserved buffers used (consoles only).
End of change
End of change
R

  • The maximum number of console buffers used.
  • The maximum number of secondary extents used.
  • The maximum number of reserved buffers used.
