Check: ASM_LOCAL_SLOT_USAGE
Comment: This one pops up regularly on LPAR's with Websphere software.
It's almost impossible to keep the usage below 30%.
Documentation says: "To maximize the efficiency of ASM slot management, you 
should keep the slot usage on all local page data sets below 30%."
We're using 4 page data sets in our test LPAR's, which are ~540k tracks. Adding 
additional is always an option, but is it worth it?
Maybe to change the warning threshold? Thoughts?

Check: GRS_CONVERT_RESERVES
Comment: Still haven't used the GRS ENQ/DEQ/RESERVE Monitor to check what 
reserves our systems are using. I was wondering has anyone tried to convert all 
RESERVEs to ENQs? Were any applications problematic?

>>>>>>> converting reserves. Check the fine manual for additional info.

Check: XCF_CDS_SPOF
Comment: For this one, I just want to confirm my understanding of the messages. 
I'm seeing component indicators = 30000000_00000000_00000000 on all the 
messages which cause this check to generate a high severity (by default) 
exception. By checking the DOC APAR OA28958, it seems that indicator is telling 
me that IBM thinks owning a single book in the CEC is a single point of failure 
(well, it is in some way, but...
hmh?). Am I reading this right?
Adding a book is defenetly not an option, so if that is the case, this one will 
need to stay disabled.

>>>>>>> I think this is referring to both cds's on the same PU (block of 4096 
>>>>>>> addresses). E.G. 8000-8FFF. I actually ignore this check.
