ca_size(1)                          CLIX                          ca_size(1)



  NAME

    ca_size - Calculates minimum disk and memory size needed for Cache File
    System (CAFS)

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/ca_size  inodes  partitions  jukeboxes  daemons  maxsubfs

  DESCRIPTION

    The CAFS copies files from an optical disk to a magnetic partition
    exclusively reserved for CAFS.  To create a partition large enough for
    cache, it is necessary to know the number of jukeboxes (jukeboxes), cache
    daemons (daemons), cache partitions (partitions), the maximum number of
    subordinate file systems (maxsubfs), and the total number of subordinate
    file system inodes (inodes).

    The ca_size command returns minimum disk and memory sizes to meet your
    system's CAFS requirements.  These are minimum sizes, but it is
    recommended to use more than the minimum disk and memory sizes.  A larger
    cache partition will improve performance and help prevent thrashing of the
    cache.

  EXAMPLES

    To calculate the minimum disk and memory size for CAFS using 31,833
    inodes, 2 partitions, 1 jukebox, 5 cache daemons, and up to 200
    subordinate file systems, key in the following command line:

    ca_size 31833 2 1 5 200


  EXIT VALUES

    The ca_size command exits with a value of 0 if successful.  If
    unsuccessful, it exits with a nonzero value.
