Usage Information Configure the maximum buffer available for PFC traffic. You can choose to increase or
decrease the buffer size that is currently allocated in the system by default. However, if
you modify the PFC buffer size to be lower than the previously configured PFC buffer
size, the system determines whether this reduction in size is valid without disrupting the
existing configuration. In such a scenario, you must disable and re-enable DCB. For
example, if you modify the total buffer 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 configuration 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 configuration identifies the maximum number of queues a port
can support. Although the queue limit per port is a baseline when dynamic buffering is
enabled, the limit per port for queues depends on the availability of the buffer.
Example

%ERROR: Total pfc buffer size configured cannot accommodate
existing buffer requirement in the system.
