I think the health check's way of working, to check each page dataset for its 30%, in stead of the entire page dataset configuration, is not such a bad one. AFAIK and some earlier posts in this thread suggested it too: ASM has one or more groups of page datasets, depending on devicetype, channel configuration etc. If you have a well balanced page configuration, there will be 1 group. It selects one group and circulates through it to select a page dataset. This means that if some are >30% full, others are <<30%, all have an equal chance of being selected. So with this mechanisme in mind, it is worth while signalling than 1 page dataset is >30%, because this can cause AMS inefficiency in spite of the filling of the others.

If so, this check runs at a 30 minute interval and checks the slot usage for each in-use local paging data set regardless of whether it was defined 'statically' or added via PAGE ADD. So... it does eventually recognize a changed configuration. Some of the ASM checks are set to re-run when a PAGE ADD/DELETE is issued, but ASM_LOCAL_SLOT_USAGE is currently not one of them.
