We are using SAN storage... soon we will be phasing out ECKD dasd for Linux zSeries.
The question is 'best' practice if you do have to utilize a swap file/partition should it be on dasd/SAN Lun by itself similar to zOS, zVM, zVSE or does the majority just place it on the same dasd/SAN Lun volume with the Linux OS base ? I understand the 'better' practice is to use vdisk, most are probably doing this or considering it, and I am sure we will be doing that sometime soon. Thanks for the responses .........

Do you expect ever to swap out to that, and if so is it your strong wish to slow down the server (and Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, Terry L.
