Shared-Memory Internal Tables
The number of chunk entries (pathnames) that can fit on an OnLine
page
The operating-system value of maximum number of open files per
process, minus 6
Refer to
for instructions on calculating the number of chunk entries
per OnLine page.
OnLine Dbspace Table
The dbspace table tracks both dbspaces and blobspaces in the OnLine
system.
The dbspace table information includes the following information about each
dbspace in the OnLine configuration:
Dbspace number
Dbspace name and owner
Dbspace mirror status (if mirrored or not)
Date and time the dbspace was created
If the space is a blobspace, flags indicate the medium where the blobspace is
located, either magnetic or removable.
The maximum number of entries in the dbspace table is equal to the value of
DBSPACES
, the maximum number of dbspaces permitted in OnLine, as
specified in the configuration file.
Each entry in the dbspaces table occupies 46 bytes.
Refer to
for information about monitoring dbspaces using tbstat -d
and tbstat -D.
The maximum number of dbspaces plus blobspaces that can exist within an
OnLine configuration is the number of chunks that can exist within this
configuration, since each dbspace requires at least one chunk.
The maximum number of chunks that can exist within a configuration might
be operating-system dependent. Refer to
 for general information
about the maximum number of chunks or to
mation about calculating the maximum value.
