a. Read caching parameters

Parameter

Default value

• RCD:

Disabling Read-Ahead caching operations

0 (enabled)

• WCE:

Write Cache Enable

0 (disabled)

• MS:

Specifying the multipliers of "minimum prefetch"
and "maximum prefetch" parameters

0 (Specifying

absolute value)

• DISC:

Prefetch operation after track switching during
prefetching

0 (inhibit)

• Number of blocks for which prefetch is suppressed

X'FFFF'

• Minimum prefetch

X'0000'

• Maximum prefetch

X'0XXX'

(1 cache segment)

• Number of blocks with maximum prefetch restrictions

X'FFFF'

• Number of segments

X'4'

IMPORTANT

1. When Read-Ahead caching operations are disabled by the

caching parameter, these parameter settings have no meaning
except write cache feature.

2. Determine the parameters in consideration of how the system

accesses the disk. When the access form is not determined
uniquely because of the processing method, the parameters can
be re-set actively.

3. For sequential access, the effective access rate can be increased

by enabling Read-Ahead caching operations and Write Cache
feature.
