Thanks,Richard. I got your point. We are not account swap disk for the disk space.So XSTORE is the same. :)

Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> The difference is that the pages in XSTORE have been paged out to the high speed paging device. VM utilizes XSTORE for that purpose and for <DC (if you allow it). The pages cannot be referenced while paged out; they have to be paged in before you can access them. You should treat XSTORE just like you treat DASD paging devices, not like it is the same as main memory.

Thanks Mark, Dave and Thomas. But should I add XSTORE too. We use z10. And there is no difference between storage and xstorage. Or RES already includes the xstore ?

And how to convert to MB. RES(IDENT) pages = 256771. Each of those are 4KB in size. So, 256771*4096/1024/1024 gives you 1,003MB, or nearly 1GB.
