Thanks for the help/advise.

I decrease the BUFPOOLSIZE, and it helps.

Bo

I suggest you use Perfmon to monitor your non-paged pool availability
(Memory -> Pool Nonpaged Bytes).

We run our servers on Windows with a BUFPOOLSIZE of 524288 (ie 131,072
pages). This allows us to run two TSM instances per Windows box. (It's an
MSCS cluster, so we have to cater for the failover scenario where both
instances are on the one cluster node.) We've successfully run a single
instance with BUFPOOLSIZE set to 1048576.

The factor that prevented us increasing BUFPOOLSIZE any further was nothing
to do with physical memory, but the non-paged pool exhaustion. This occurs
because every extra page of buffer pool requires a certain number of
handles. If you monitor the handle count for the DSMSVC.EXE process, you'll
see it reaches astronomical proportions with large BUFPOOLSIZEs. This has a
knock-on effect on the non-paged pool.

The relevant article is here:

Last time I spoke to IBM support about this, they suggested that 64-bit
Windows would give a larger nonpaged pool and therefore allow a larger
BUFPOOLSIZE.
