Hello Everyone,
I have seen, read, and been told about having a separate page
volume.
It just seems like a true waste of space. Yes, I understand that disk
is getting cheaper all the time, but budgets are kept here.
I do have room, so the question is with all the VSE systems
V=V but with enough real to cover them, and z/VM paging at
0 to 1 per sec, how much of an impact would it be to have paging on
other volumes?
q alloc page

SUMMARY 384120 533 1%
USABLE 384120 533 1%
And could you explain (again) the seldom ending channel program
for paging?
Thanks,
