Sounds like a good reason to run your DB2 on Linux on z/VM. :) > 2. Why not just attach the memory to the guest, rather than page. Because the guest will use it all, and you don't want it to do that. (See your own comment from before. :) > 3. You still have the CPU path length for paging. In Linux and z/VM, that's pretty short, especially with the DIAG driver. We've been finding that a lot of sites are running out of storage before MIPS. Again, shared/virtualized is a different beast.
