Error description
The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS generates error message: Invalid buffer pool Buffer Pool name must be BP8K0-BP8K9, and the size cannot be altered. To alter the Buffer Pool name to something other than BP8K0-BP8K9, use the RD primary command. When entering AL on Panel ADB21SA trying to ALter a PBG Tablespace Bufferpool from 8K to 4K. (ADB277E msgADB277E)
Local fix
Specify ALT or a larger Buffer Pool.

Problem conclusion
Problem has been resolved. In DB2 9, if altering the buffer pool to a different page size, the DB2 Administration Tool issues the following message: ADB908E Invalid buffer pool size. The buffer pool must be &bpm and the size cannot be altered. To alter the buffer pool size to something other than &bpm, enter END to exit and return to the Table Space panel (ADB21S). Then, use the line command ALT to redefine the table space. Do not use the AL command to change the buffer pool size to a different buffer pool size. Explanation The buffer pool size must be appropriate for the table space. If the buffer pool size of the table space is 4KB, the value of &bpm is BP0-BP49, 8KB is BP8K0-BP8K9, 16KB is BP16K0-BP16K9, and 32KB is BP32K, BP32K1-BP32K9. System action Processing stops. User response Use the line command ALT to redefine the table space. Do not use the AL line command.
