In general, I do not worry about ECSA/ESQA except to be sure the amount is sufficient. You have 2 GB avail. What's a couple of hundred MB matter?
Yes, SQA/ESQA will expand into CSA/ECSA respectively. If E* areas are exhausted, the below the line areas will be used. When all are exhausted, an IPL occurs. RMF III and or the RMFPP with VSTOR(D) will give you the respective utilizations and notify of any overflows, HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Jesse Lynch Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2018 1:04 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: IEA303W ABEND 878 REASON 00000004 We got IEA303W ABEND 878 REASON 00000004 DURING INITIALIZATION UNDER RIM IEAVNP23 OSC Index 12 connected to CPC4100A via IP Addr 10.216.182.225:3270 ** LT Index=11 CSSID=00 MIFID=09 CU=0 UA=00 LUName=GMSTR ** Type=2965-N10 Mfg=IBM SN=0000000D2C07 message displayed during start up of GGGG. at IPL over weekend on 2 of our LPARs. For one, trying reipl worked fine. For the other we tried several times, no go. RSU 1711 went into our 2.1 system. We searched on apars and found some old ones mentioning to increase ESQA. There was some miscommunication and we increased ECSA from 570M to 650M for that one LPAR and it came up just fine. On further reading, it looks like if ESQA is exhausted, it might go to the ECSA. So I have 2 questions 1). Anything we should look for on why this happened to us for the first time at IPL? Our maintenance? or the fact because of the maintenance we stopped PPRC during the IPLs. Also we did update our ISV vendor software including CAs MIM. I know one of the old APARs mentioned GRS. 2). I am concerned that increasing ECSA might cost us in some way. Will this affect performance or cause LPAR failure as we go along. I kind of looked at TMON for that LPAR and this is what I see: CSA: 3068K( 34%) ECSA: 650M( 29%) SQA: 800K( 56%) ESQA: 47076K( 61%) We lost our senior Performance Guy to retirement recently which is why I am out here asking for advice.
