Qualifiers


/BUFFER_SIZE
      /BUFFER_SIZE=n

   The InfoServer block cache is structured as an array of fixed-
   size buffers (also called buckets.) The /BUFFER_SIZE qualifier
   determines the size of each bucket. (The /CACHE qualifer
   determines the number of buckets.)

   The numeric value of this parameter is an integer between 3 and
   8 inclusive, representing the bucket size in 512-byte blocks as
   follows:

      3 -   8 blocks (default)
      4 -  16 blocks
      5 -  32 blocks
      6 -  64 blocks
      7 - 128 blocks
      8 - 256 blocks

   The default value is 3.

   Bucket sizes that are larger than 32 blocks are not appropriate
   for most users. The OpenVMS client segments I/O requests that
   are larger than 31 blocks into 31-block chunks, and the default
   bucket readahead behavior might result in unnecessary I/O
   activity to the disk.


/CACHE
      /CACHE = number-of-buckets (default = 512)

   The InfoServer block cache is structured as an array of
   fixed-size buffers (also called buckets. The /CACHE qualifier
   determines the number of buckets in the cache. The /BUFFER_SIZE
   qualifier determines the size of each bucket.

   Numbers larger than 16384 can adversely affect performance.
   Consider increasing the /BUFFER_SIZE qualifier to reach the
   desired cache size.


/MAXIMUM_SERVICES
      /MAXIMUM_SERVICES = maxservice (default = 256)

   Sets the maximum service count for the server. This is the
   maximum number of services that can be defined at one time.
   Each service descriptor consumes non-paged pool; however, unused
   service slots consume only 4 bytes each.

   The maximum value is 1024.


/WRITE_QUOTA
      /WRITE_QUOTA = n (default = 0)

   Number of simultaneous synchronous writes permitted within the
   server. The default of zero means that all write operations are
   performed synchronously.
