Version Description
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the S6000 platform.
Usage Information Congure the maximum buer available for PFC trac. You can choose to increase or decrease the buer 
size that is currently allocated in the system by default. However, if you modify the PFC buer size to be 
lower than the previously congured PFC buer size, the system determines whether this reduction in size 
is valid without disrupting the existing conguration. In such a scenario, you must disable and re-enable DCB. 
For example, if you modify the total buer size to be 4000 KB from the previous size of 5000 KB, an error 
message is displayed that this reduction cannot be performed owing to existing system conguration 
because of queues that are being currently processed.
The lossless queue limit per port is validated based on the dcb pfc-queues command. PFC queue 
conguration identies the maximum number of queues a port can support. Although the queue limit per 
port is a baseline when dynamic buering is enabled, the limit per port for queues depends on the availability 
of the buer.
Example
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-total-buffer-size 5000 
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-total-buffer-size 4000 %ERROR: Total pfc buffer size 
configured cannot accommodate existing buffer requirement in the system.
