Sam, "I am curious how many other folks disable the Health Checker for z/OS check CHECK(IBMVSM,VSM_SQA_THRESHOLD) because they normally run with SQA or ESQA allocated at more than 100% converting some CSA/ECSA."
We don't because we don't run with CSA converted. But: I am curious how many other folk delete health checker checks because they're just plain stupid. I get the impression that almost all components were pressed to write 'health checks' come hell or high water. In my experience, they're also not willing to listen and fix things: CHECK(IBMASM,ASM_LOCAL_SLOT_USAGE) : Once this check trips, it will trip all the time until you IPL or manage to terminate the address space that was put to that local page data set. We had this trip on all of our locals, added another local page dataset, and then the check still complained until the next IPL. CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_SIG_STR_SIZE): Using the CFsizer I defined the structures for full signalling connectivity between the number of systems that are in that sysplex. The check doesn't care about that. It takes the arbitrary number that the xcf CDS was formatted with and screams that there isn't full connectivity for this number of systems. Never mind that we don't have that many systems in the plex. Once I format the sysplex cds to have exactly the number of systems that actually are in the plex, then it screams that there is no room for growth. But what really galled me with this check was that the parm ALLOWAUTOALT(YES) on the signalling structures resulted in XCF altering the structure so that full signalling connectivity was destroyed. IBM refused to fix the destruction of the full connectivity. I turned off allowautoalt to prevent another occurance of that. I could go on.... Regards, Barbara Nitz -- Psssst!
