IST946I
BASENO n GREATER OR EQUAL TO XPANLIM limit BUFFERS

Explanation

This message is the first in a group of messages. A complete description of the message group follows.
IST946I  BASENO n GREATER OR EQUAL TO XPANLIM limit BUFFERS
IST947I  STATIC BUFFERING ASSUMED FOR bpBUF

While processing the start option for buffer pool bp and converting the input expansion limit to buffers, VTAM® determined that the expansion limit was less than the base number of buffers in the pool. Although the initial number of buffers will be allocated to the pool, the pool will not be able to expand because any expansion would force the pool above its expansion limit. As a result, the values for xpanpt and xpanno entered for buffer pool bp will be ignored and the buffer pool will operate without dynamic expansion.

n is the base number of buffers allocated to the buffer pool. This is the value of the baseno operand in the start option for the buffer pool.

limit is the maximum number of buffers that will fit in the storage specified by the xpanlim operand in the start option for the buffer pool. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference for a description of the buffer pool start options.

bp is the name of the buffer pool. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for an explanation and description of buffer pools and for general information on buffer pool specification and allocation.

System action

Processing continues. The buffer pool will operate with no dynamic buffering. ***NA*** will be displayed for the expansion threshold if DISPLAY BFRUSE commands are entered for the buffer pool.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination. You might have to restart VTAM.

System programmer response

Determine whether dynamic buffering is desired for buffer pool bp. If so, restart VTAM with appropriate values for baseno and xpanlim for the bp buffer pool. Otherwise, no action is necessary.
