Calculate bufferpool size

Hello

How do you calculate the size of a bufferpool in terms of how big it is in MB?

Also is a single buffer the same as a page in DB2?

Thanks for the help

In syscat.bufferpools, it shows the number of pages (npages) and the pagesize. Just multiply them together to get the size. If npages is -2 it is controlled dynamically by STMM.
