Esteemed listers I've a problem but I haven't any answer to it or better I've different answers.
Say we have a machine with, just to say, 10 Gb of real storage. Only 5 are used by the only LPAR defined (actually there's another very small LPAR, but it's real small), which is a WLC LPAR and often it's CPU capped. 5 Gb remain unused. I asked why, as I'd like to enlarge my bufferpools in DB2 (for instance). I've got these answers: - Increasing real storage increases cpu overhead to managed more memory blocks in a cpu-constrained machine. - Increasing real storage causes more workload so more chanches to hit WLC capping. - It's better to have some spare storage (5 Gb ?). Our workload is increasing and we have some occasional paging spikes. DB2 doesn't perform well due to too small pools. According listers' experience, is using the most part/all real storage (perhaps with a spare memory for future incrases) a real problem ? Did anyone experimented any problem ? What are guidelines ?
