Changing the Number of Reserved Files
Each VPU can support a limited number of files and directories in its managed
volumes.
You can reserve file credits for volumes where you expect more (or less) than the
above default. From gbl-ns-vol mode, change the number of reserved files for a
volume with the
reserve files command.
reserve files files
where files (4,000,000 - 256,000,000) is the new number of files to reserve for
the volume.
First, use the
show VPU command to display the VPU report and list the current
number of reserved files; see the
File credits section of the report.
For example, the following command reserves 4,000,000 files for the ‘/acct’ volume.
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# reserve files 4000000
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# ...
