Mary Anne,
I just issued a shutdown of VM, increased the storage at the
HMC, and then activated the lpar. So I actually did NOT do a
deactivate at the HMC. Yes we do use v-disks for swap for our linux
machines. And that is fine as I'd rather go to exp than dasd. What I
am cornfused about is the fact that q store and q xstore as well as I
remember looking at perfsvm machine and seeing the added storage,
but it sure seems like we actually needed an IML or maybe we needed
to deactivate that lpar to actually pick it up.

Brian, when you say 'bounced the VM lpar'...did you deactivate and
activate the LPAR?
Something we found that for some reason takes a lot of Xstore is
VDISKs...do you use
them regularly?

Folks,
Back in Oct or so we installed new z9's with added storage
and IFL's. BUT, since we were under the gun we chose to just get us
up as were and add storage and or IFL later. So our VM system had
4g of central and 1.5 of expanded. Well, a couple of months later I
went to the HMC and added 4g more to central and another 1.5 to
expanded for a total of 8g central and 3g expanded. Bounced the VM
lpar and it did indeed show via q stor a value of 8g and q xstore
3072m. We've had cause to bounce ALL our lpars several times since,
even adding stor to z/OS. We've always say 4-5 hours after a boot
of VM consumed 99% of our xstore and I could see paging to dasd as
well. This was before and after the added storage. This morning we
needed to IML the frame and since that was done we've NOT moved at
all from central to expanded. My question is one of - was I really
not getting the added storage to VM until and IML was done? IF so,
then where does the info come from for the "q store and q xstore" commands?
