Hi Lisa, This error relates to the SP switch. By default the rpoolsize and spoolsize are to small sized for SP nodes with high throughput like an ITSM server. The following command will tell you about the switch settings: lsattr -El css0 and look at the values for rpoolsize and spoolsize. They should be 10485760 (for the ITSM server). Probable I'll see 2097152. To change them: /usr/lpp/ssp/css/chgcss -l css0 -a spoolsize=10485760 -a rpoolsize=10485760
As long as your SP nodes don't complain, there is no need to change these values. But you need a reboot to make the change effective. These values will be remembered after a reboot, but I noticed, sometimes they return to their default values. I think it happens after a PSSP upgrade. So it'll be better to put this command in the file: /tftpboot/tuning.cust so it'll be executed automatically after every reboot.

I have been looking in the SP, PSSP, and AIX performance books, and tried to find it on IBM's site, but no luck other than I *think* I know what I am looking at, i.e., This is telling me that there aren't enough buffers (as opposed to them not being big enough) in the TCP/IP receive memory buffer. And that this error is occurring for communication across the switch. I need one of you AIX super geniuses to help me out, please! thanks lisa LABEL: IP_POOL_BT_RE IDENTIFIER: 454AAA48 Date/Time: Sun Oct 6 23:00:39 Sequence Number: 10357 Machine Id: 000F964F4C00 Node Id: scpm02 Class: S Type: INFO Resource Name: css Description IP pool buffers below threshold Probable Causes Not enough pool buffers for workload User Causes None Recommended Actions Pool tuning required Detail Data Software ID String LPP=PSSP,Fn =../../../../../../src/ssp/css/ip/tb3pci/if_ls.c,SID=1.18,L#=3332 POOL NAME recvpool CURRENT POOL SIZE 00A0 0000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
