SYMPTOMS
Under the category "Times Buffers Exhausted," Net Statistics Workstation indicates that it is reporting on how many times work buffers were exhausted on the server, but it actually is reporting on request buffers.
CAUSE
NetStatisticsGet2 API data structure (workstation) has a parameter for stw0_reqbufneed.
The OS/2 redirector uses a server message block heap buffer composed of (basically) numworkbuf*sizworkbuf. The redirector allocates out of this buffer, and increments the reqbufneed statistic when the buffer gets exhausted. It should increment the workbufneed statistic, since only the server uses reqbufs.
RESOLUTION
Tune NumWorkBuf in the [workstation] section of LANMAN.INI.
STATUS
Additional query words: 2.20 2.2 reqbuf workbuf
