DSNB612I csect-name THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF BUFFER POOL STORAGE HAS BEEN ALLOCATED. THE SIMULATED BUFFER POOL CANNOT BE CREATED OR EXPANDED. BUFFER POOL bpname, MAXIMUM STORAGE maximum-storage MB, STORAGE NEEDED storage-needed MB.

Explanation

A simulated buffer pool could not be created or expanded to the requested size. The maximum amount of virtual storage for buffer pools and simulated buffer pools was reached. That value is twice the amount of real storage that is available on the z/OS® image, or 1TB, whichever is less.
bpname
The name of the buffer pool that is to be simulated.
maximum-storage
The maximum amount of virtual storage for buffer pools and simulated buffer pools that is allowed.
storage-needed
The amount of virtual storage for buffer pools and simulated buffer pools that is needed before the simulated buffer pool can be created or expanded.

System action

The simulated buffer pool is not created or expanded.

System programmer response

Issue DISPLAY BUFFERPOOL to obtain information about the buffer pool sizes. Analyze the existing buffer pool sizes, and the simulated buffer pool sizes that are needed. Take one of the following actions:

  • Determine if any other buffer pool sizes can be decreased.
  • Add more real memory, so that the virtual memory size can be increased.
