Jim, What about the situation with OA28261?
APAR Identifier ...... OA28261 Last Changed ........ 09/05/11
XCF AT Z/OS R10 HBB7750 RUNNING ON D/T209X ALLOCATES MUCH HIGHER

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
XCF typically allocated ESQA storage during the IPL for XES
related dynamic area. The amount of this dynamic storage area
was based on the twice the value of CVTMAXMP or at least 8
10-page buffers. With an LPAR configured with 2 logical cp, it
will allocated 2x2x10 pages ESQA when running on pre D/T209x.
When the LPAR configured with 2 logical cp runing on D/T209x,
as the CVTMAXMP could be returned with x3F as seen, XCF would
allocate 2x63x10 pages instead.
LOCAL FIX:
If customer really do not expect to enable the dynamic CPU add
feature provided in D/T209x which could affect the return value
related to the CVTMAXMP, customer could ADD the :
DYNCPADD DISABLE in their LOADxx parmlib member, which would
cause CVTMAXMP value be established based on the configuration
rather than the 'potential' value.

LCCAs and PCCAs continue to be allocated only for online
processors. The LCCA and PCCA vector tables are allocated
for the maximum size, but they are only 4 bytes per processor.
