ANTCAPACITY number 
is the maximum number of entries in the virtual-disk, audited-name table. number 
is in the range 0 through 2500000. The default is 12288. 
The value of this attribute must be large enough to hold not only the temporary and 
permanent files to be created on the virtual disk but also the normal overhead 
associated with key-sequenced files, as documented in the Enscribe 
Programmer’s Guide. 
BACKUPCPU number 
is the processor in which the backup IOP starts. The process must be in the 
STOPPED state or not running for you to alter this attribute.
CACHESIZE number 
is the number of entries of the name cache of the virtual disk process. The name 
cache is used to hold entries in the audit-name table. number is in the range 0 
through 50000. The default is 0. 
Avoid making the cache too small, which can adversely affect file-management 
operations (such as FILE_OPEN_ and file information requests) serviced by a 
virtual disk process. 
HIGHPIN { ON | OFF } 
specifies whether the IOP can run at a high PIN (ON, the default) or only at a low 
PIN (OFF). 
MODE { NOISY | QUIET } 
specifies whether to generate additional EMS messages for debugging. 
PRIMARYCPU number 
is the processor in which the primary IOP starts. The process must be in the 
STOPPED state or not running for you to alter this attribute. 
NOISY Generate additional EMS messages for debugging. 
QUIET Generate only essential EMS messages (default).
