I have been following this thread with some interest. The one aspect I have not seen mentioned has been what constitutes too high of volume of SMF data?
I'll admit my shop is small but our production LPAR was switching SMF in the range of 95 to 105 times a day. The other LPARs were behaving switching 5 to 15 times a day. The source of the problem was that all of the MANx data sets had the same allocation - 100 cylinders -, which had been sufficient for many years. Anyway, I reallocated the MANx data sets for the production LPAR to 750 cylinders; and, I modified the offload PROC as well. Now, the production LPAR only switches 14 or 15 times a day. With this in mind, what is too high of a volume for the MANx data sets to handle given the size of the MANx data sets and rate of switching? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
