Data transfer pipeline buffers

Sets the number of pipeline buffers. This can be used to tweak performance. Higher value will give faster performance, but consume more memory. Higher values are typically used for backing up to tape devices. The Data pipe buffers determine the amount of shared memory allocated on each computer for data pipes. The size of each buffer is 64K. If you have a network speed of at least 10 GB, then you can set the value of this setting to 600 or 900. By default, 90 data pipe buffers are established on each server for data movement operations.
