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.

Subject: Re: AIX Paging Space Utilization


I have also seen paging space issues my server that runs only TSM. 

OS: AIX 5.1 ML 6
TSM server: 5.1 and 5.2.3.1
Memory: 2GB
Space: 2 GB (now 3 GB)

We have logged cases with IBM, to no avail. I have check all the settings myself. IBM 
has checked everything and found no problems. I'd also be interested in any help.

I'm running into issues with paging space utilization on my AIX based TSM system. 

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. 

TSM Options: See Attached File (options.txt) 
AIX Memory Settings: See Attached File (memsettings.txt)
