Barbara,

When I was a sysprog, this check would have been invaluable on many occasions - 
(production ASIDs falling over on Monday at 11am because someone changed the 
LPA list at the weekend and squeezed PVT).

I assume that it only runs once per IPL? Surely that is not be too bad an 
overhead for the possible problem avoidence.

I think it is a "Good Thing".

I am not that familiar with HC - but it sounds like it would be a nice if a 
site could override the condition codes that the various checks produce.

Subject: Health CHECK(IBMVSM,VSM_PVT_LIMIT)/VSM_SQA_THRESHOLD

On two of our systems we are/were running with ESQA at 112% and hence ECSA 
converted. Last weekend one of those systems was finally migrated to 1.8 and I 
was finally able to convince the powers that be that ESQA should be increased 
so that we're not converting ECSA anymore (which isn't all *that* big, either).
Right after IPL the VSM_PVT_LIMIT check started complaining

HZS0004I CHECK(IBMVSM,VSM_CSA_CHANGE): 559 IGVH102E EPVT Change Limit Exceeded

Well, given that VSM retains the values from the IPL *before* this and 
compares, what does HC expect???? In my opinion, there should be a cross-check 
build in that checks if *at the same time* ESQA/ECSA has gotten bigger, which 
easily explains why EPVT got smaller! And in such a case (correcting a 'bad' 
setting foe ESQA) the EPVT check should not give out a CC8. If any, it should 
be a cc4 *at the highest*.

Same goes for below-the-line.
