I am running VMS 6.2 on a three node cluster.
I am looking at the performance and have a few disks with high window
turns, some of which can be set using the maxfile size / 65000 to
determine what the setting should be.
However, the system disk is registering as having high window turns
when it is running images that are installed. The maxfile size /
65000 does not produce a number greater than 7 but the window turns are
hitting 60 and above.
Is there any danger in me setting the window turns to 60 on this
occassion or is there something esle I can do to rectify this.
The systems are running DFG and the system disk is not overly
fragmented. I have searched the disk using DFG for files with
greater than 7 extents and there aren't any.
Any further info on this would be appreciated.
Regards

there is no danger in raising the number of windows on the disk to 60, it just uses more memory for the disk window buffer. It may be an indication that you have fragmented files that cannot be defraged (setfilenomove.com) or that you need to convert indexed files on the disk... Raising the window buffer "hides" the fact that there may be underlying problems on the disk. | |||||
