Question

What are IBM's recommendations for configuring VTAM's T2BUF buffer pool?

Answer

IBM-supplied values are appropriate for most systems. The default value for this pool is set at a conservative value in case the functions that use this pool are not used. If using the functions that use this pool, use the DISPLAY net,BFRUSE command to monitor usage and then set the BASENO for the pool at the normal high period usage.

For Enterprise Extender connections using QDIO/iQDIO device drivers, defining more initial buffers and larger buffer extents might help increase throughput. Defining too few might cause an IP retransmit.
