Re: Performance Toolkit: DCSS size too smallAs Kris has already written, this 
has nothing to do with the increased minidisk size. The messages suggest that 
something else may have happened at the same time: 
- either a lot of additional I/O devices (more DASD?) were added in the 
meantime, 
- or your VM system only now started collecting data for previously offline 
devices,
  or for devices that were previously excluded from monitoring by command.

While increasing virtual memory size may have allowed PerfKit to handle the 
additional I/O devices, the message
'FCXPMN440E Error 41 loading MONITOR segment MONDCSS'
indicates that the MONDCSS segment has been defined so that it is overlaying 
storage that is already in use, i.e. it is probably located within the virtual 
storage defined for the machine it is running in, and would block that much of 
the virtual machine's storage if it could have been properly loaded. Better 
redefine it at an address **above** the virtual memory size defined for the 
machine.

  Update: Increasing the virtual memory size of the PERFSVM userid solved the 
problem. I wish PerfKit gave more useful messages.... I've been chasing the 
wrong problem all day.

    This is not related the size of a minidisk, but the size of a DisContiguous 
Saved Segment, a piece of virtual storage, in this case shared between CP (that 
stores the performance data in it ) and PERFSVM that retrieves them out of it. 

    It is created by issuing DEFSEG MONDCSS sss-eee SC   (I'm a bit uncertain 
about "SC")
    followed by  SAVESEG MONDCSS
    sss end eee are the hex starting page address and ending address
    You can issue Q NSS NAME MONDCSS MAP to find its current size. 
    To have the new version active, all users of it should be stopped.  Q NSS 
USERS MONDCSS will show the current users, CP itself will not be listed, but if 
you issue MONITOR STOP, CP will stop using it too.

    2007/7/11, RPN01 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

      We've been running PerfKit for quite some time, and the 191 disk got too 
small for the trend data. I brought down both PERFSVM virtual machines (we run 
two CECs and CSE), created new, larger disks, and set up the PERFSVM's to use 
them, and then xautolog'ed both PERFSVMs. 

      Now, both are getting the message "FCXPMN446E Incomplete monitor data: 
DCSS size too small".

      The current data was just copied from one disk to another; what does the 
DCSS size have to do with that? If the DCSS is too small, what is the yardstick 
needed to decide how big to make it?
