we had the same java 'fatal' storage error for almost a year when we first went to z/os 1.9. It happened with all releases of java - 1.4, 1.5, 1.6. No one seemed to know how to fix it although I suspected that IEFUSI was the cause, I could not prove it to those responsible for the exit. And we looked at all the other parms, MEMLIMIT, BPX MAXXASIZE, RACF SIZEAMAX (or something like it).
I was told by IBM support center to just limit the amount of virtual storage that java uses in the IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmxnn profile options, which circumvented the error. A few months ago, the 'fatal' error disappeared and I see that IEFUSI is not in the SMF SUBSYS parm. Was the IEFUSI specification in SMFPRM the only thing that caused the error? Why was a SMF setting responsible for the java error in the first place? I reported this problem to the OMVS list and no one mentioned SMF. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 9:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Java V6 install problem On Wed, 3 Jun 2009 08:22:52 -0500, Vince Getgood <[email protected]> wrote: >Don't you just LOVE consistency? > >As I'm working in a test LPAR, I changed SMFPRMxx to MEMLIMIT=1T, and >now Marks rexx now shows: - > > V I R T U A L S T O R A G E U S A G E > ------------------------------------------- > > > Region requested: 8192K > > Max Priv Region Region Region Region > Reg Size Limit Size In-Use Avail > -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- > Below 16M: 10216K 8256K 8192K 92K 8164K > Above 16M: 1927168K 131072K 131072K 420K 130652K > > Above 2G : 32M (64-bit MEMLIMIT) > MEMLIMIT Source: IEFUSI > >So IEFUSI is getting in the mix.

Then "SET SMF=xx". This is what is recommended anyway.
