Dave, Are you tight on dasd or do you have enough to put things on their own packs? How is your paging subsystem? Is there a lot of paging going on your Systems?
My system COMMON and PLPA are on same volume All LOCALS have their own volume. No mixing of different LPAR Locals on the same volume. I max out my LOCALS as big as I can make them. We are going to MOD9s so they are getting bigger.

(We don't page much.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
