You could incease your buffers for VSAM, DB2, CICS thereby eliminating physical I/O and increasing performance.
<snip> We run 4 LPARs - production z/OS and z/VM and test z/OS and z/VM. Right now we're running with about the same LPAR storage allocations that we had before, and see very little paging on any of our LPARs. The one exception is when we run an image of our production z/OS system under our test z/VM system for Disaster Recovery testing. Then we see lots of paging. . . . Since we're not paging on those systems, would we get any benefit from allocating additional storage to them? Or would we just be spending DASD space (because the backing store for paging would have to be bigger to accommodate the additional storage) for no benefit? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
