A fix is available
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The JFS2 inode cache may not be increased from its default value. This is especially affecting AIX 7.1 systems for which the default was lowered from 400 to 200. There is no warning or error messages and commands may claim that the size of the cache is increased, but it is not. A reboot will not fix this problem.
Local fix
There is sort of a work-around in that you can do two ioo commands, the first one being a bigger increase than you want and the second one then shrinking the cache value to the desired value. However, you need to redo the fix every time you reboot the system.
Problem summary
system runs out of inodes and errors with ENFILE
Problem conclusion
fix flag in pile_config_max_pages()
Temporary fix
