Thanks. As always, YMMV. Especially you need to take in account how many LPARs are connected to that CF. That Sizer Tool recommendations are based on general sizes used and estimates. You only know what sizes are the best for you. Use D XCF,STRUCTURE,STRNAME=??? and run program IXCMIAPU to check your current usage. Modify as needed. Wash/Rinse/Repeat if needed.
