Elaine, did you get the wait code during or after the IPL of the lpar. Unless
I'm looking at the wrong doc a wait code of 03C indicates you had an issue with
ASM. The other thing to consider depending on the size of your lpar in terms
of software stack 3 gig may not be enough. Depending on the level of z/OS
there have been some changes in central storage management and 3 gig may work
but z/OS would be happier with 4 gig and even up to 8 gig for the "default"
size.
03C
Explanation: The auxiliary storage manager (ASM) found that not enough
auxiliary storage space is available for system operation:
During IPL
Either the required number of page data sets was not specified, or ASM has
detected a problem with a required page data set.
After IPL
ASM has run out of usable auxiliary storage for the pageable link pack
area (PLPA), common or local page data sets, and any storage-class memory
(SCM).
A reason code identifies the error:
Code
Explanation
00
The cause of the error cannot be determined because of an error in recovery
processing.
01
Insufficient paging space. All local paging data sets are full, and there
is no available SCM.
02
The PLPA data set is full, SCM; is full, and the common data set is
unavailable.
03
The common data set is full, SCM is full, and the PLPA data set is
unavailable.
04
SCM is full, and the PLPA and common data sets are unavailable.
Thanks..

Elaine,
I suspect what you are interested in seeing is found here: Single Object
Operations; select CPC; select Operational Customization; select Storage
Information.
"Storage Information
This window displays:
Information about storage installed and allocated for the base system.
Information about central storage and expanded storage allocated for logical
partitions currently activated on the base system."
If you don't see it, you need to check your SE permissions.

Take a look at your reset profile. Total storage on the z13 should show up
there.
