Non-paged Pool Requirements

The primary data collection process allocates non-paged pool resources depending on the number of processes that the system supports and the number of disk drives. For details on setting the non-paged pool requirements, see the Installation Guide.

The primary data collection process allocates resources in the following amounts as shown in the following table:

Bytes

Allocations

38400

(1)

Multiply MAXPROCESSCNT by 480

(1)

392

As needed on CPD process image queue overflow (2)

Multiply MAXPROCESSCNT by 4

(1) per active disk

Multiply maximum configured disks by 184

(1)

7680

As needed on VMS I/O event buffer overflow (1)

(1) I/O buffer overruns may occur in heavily I/O-intensive environments. See the appendix “Error Messages and Recovery Procedures” for descriptions of the logicals PSDC$IO_FLUSH_FREQUENCY and PSDC$IO_PACKET_MAX. These logicals control the frequency of overruns and specify the maximum number of non-paged pool allocations due to overruns, respectively.

(2) Process image queue overruns increase as the system image activation rate increases.
