total buer space on the system being lower than the shared buer size. You must either enter a smaller value for the shared buer 
size or increase the total buer size appropriately by using the dcb pfc-total- buffer-size command.
Syntax

Usage Information Congure the maximum shared buer available for PFC trac. You can choose to increase or decrease the 
shared buer that is currently allocated in the system by default. You must congure the shared buer size 
to be less than the total PFC buer size. If the buer size and DCB buer threshold settings are applied on 
one or more ports, a validation is performed to determine whether following condition is satised: If the 
preceding condition is not satised by the shared PFC buer size value, the conguration is not saved and a 
system logging message is generated as follows:
Shared-pfc-buer-size <= (Total-pfc-buer-size - Σpfc priority <> buer-size on each port, priority).
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size 2000 
%ERROR: pfc shared buffer size configured cannot accommodate existing 
buffer requirement in the system.
Example
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size 5000
