<p><span class="uicontrol">Machine memory pool size</span>, also known as <span class="uicontrol">QMCHPOOL</span>,

value to specify the size of the machine memory pool. To learn more, keep
reading.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>Specifies
the size of the machine memory pool in megabytes (MB). A memory pool is a
logical division of memory (storage) that is reserved for processing a job
or group of jobs. The machine memory pool contains highly shared machine and
operating system programs. Be careful when changing the size for this memory
pool because system performance may be impaired if the memory pool is too
small.</p>
<p>The machine-enforced minimum value varies depending on the memory
size of the machine. The system automatically increases the actual size of
the machine memory pool to the machine-enforced minimum value if you specify
a smaller value.</p>
<p>If the system has increased the actual size of the
machine memory pool, you can determine the actual machine-enforced minimum
value for the machine disk pool (pool 1) in iSeries Navigator by doing the following:</p>
<ol><li>Expand your iSeries server.</li>
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Work Management</span>.</li>
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Memory Pools</span>.</li>
</ol>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Where can I get more information about this system value?</h4><p>To
learn more, go to the performance system values overview topic. If you are
looking for a specific system value or category of system values, try using
the i5/OS system
value finder.</p>
