My question was not one of who was using it but rather IF indeed
I needed to do an IML to acquire it or not. As I stated earlier, I
ass/u/me/d it was indeed there after issuing the two "q" commands and
I pursued it no further until this morning when I noticed that this
was possibly not the case. Thanx for the confirmation on the vdisk as
that is what I understood as well. So, any ideas as to wether or not
an IML or a deactivation of the lpar is required for z/VM to pick up
added storage?

Metrics mean different things to different people. The same thing
happens in linux, "all storage is consumed", add more, and it's
consumed also. You just don't know by what, or if it matters. In
both your case and the linux case, you are not looking at useful
metrics. (And if it's consumed by vdisk, congratulations, your
system is running optimally)

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?
