Do you mean REAL virtual storage, to which answers have already been supplied? Or do you mean VIRTUAL virtual storage, as documented as the "Maximum Input Values for Storage Units" in the CP Planning and Administration manual?
For z/VM 5.4 and 6.1 the maximum "stor" size for any virtual machine is 16E (exabytes). I'd venture a guess that IBM would be pleased to sell you sufficient real storage and DASD to support a few of those VMs, their paging and dump space requirements. :-) 1101010010001001100100101000010101000000111001101000000110010011101000111000010110011001 Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.
