PAGTOTL=256 is a virtual limit, the real limit is 253 and I never seen a number 
higher then 15.
So a PAGEADD might result in an IPL no more.

PAGTOTAL=256


(I also do similar things for the maximum number of JES-SPOOL, 
ASID's, TIOT, systems in a CFRM policy, etc.

I asked for the last once, back in 1994.
The SYSPROG said “No, we only have 5 systems.”
You can imagine the problems we had when we went to 6.
He still only wanted to change the limit to 6.
I said, make it 16 (the max at the time), and had to escalate.

What are we saving by trimming the maximums?

I had a senior performance analyst drop the DB2 buffer pool 
sizes when we went to GDPS and PPRC. Because of the possibility 
of something being in memory at the time of a disaster.

I may have won that argument after two years of discussion; 
I'll never know because the resolution was still only a 
possibility, when I got down-sized.

My winning points:
1. The journals/logs are also under PPRC.
2. We kill performance `just in case?`.
