Oh yeah: I've gotten this. what you want to do is have a look at your virtual memory tunings with "vmtune". Of particular interest are your "maxperm", "minperm", "numclient", and "strict_maxperm" settings. Remember that, all TSM is, is a DB2 database, so you need to tune your VMM subsystem accordingly. Without going intro a long, boring discussion, try this:
1) Maxperm = 40% 2) Minperm = 10% 3) Maxclient = 20% 4) Strict_Maxperm = 1 What these settings basically do is to free up real memory, and dramatically cut down on paging; you can take both the minperm and maxperm values down to near zero, if you're in a severely memory constrained system. --Mark -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Miles Purdy Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 9:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AIX Paging Space Utilization I have also seen paging space issues my server that runs only TSM.

Host OS AIX 5.2 TSM Version 5.2.2.3 Physical Memory 12GB Dual CPU P630 TSM Database 1 36.6GB TSM Database 2 59.7GB I have two TSM instances running on the same box and recently (after a reboot) I've seen the paging space utilization increase dramatically. I've gotten to the point where I have to stop one of the instances of TSM and let the system recover paging space, then restart TSM. Anyone have any tips? I do think I may have my bufpoolsize settings a little high, at 1GB for each instance. I haven't experimented with lowering these settings. My cache hit is 99% consistently.
