Big "IF", what happens if this server (the SFS containing the DIRC directories), crashs? Would it also dump the dataspaces? If so, you will need lots of spool space also.
But you shouldn't need additional paging space for a 2 week time period. Now, if it was a 2 year time period, then, yes, you will need it. Just don't go to a CMS user and Xedit a large (multiple GB) file. As you start using virtual memory, your dataspaces will start to be paged out. Then you wish you had paging space. I forget, on current VM systems, if paging is full, do we still overflow to spool? And then we only abend CP when paging is full and spool is full? Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/10/2006 1:30 PM >>> The Situation: A small, special purpose VM that is going to have 12 users accessing data that is contained in DIRC directories that are enabled for data spaces. These directories will have a total of approximately 5.7 million blocks committed. The processes using them will be most of what is running in a machine that has 26GB main and 12GB xstore. The question: Do we need to define sufficient paging space to accommodate all of the dataspaces plus anything else that may be running, or can we get by on fewer because the majority of the files in the dataspaces will be in memory?
