Bear with me while I'm learning, please. you say to reduce the real for my virtual machine from 246900k and the swap from 3G ? My DB2 is already complaining that there is not enough memory to allocate any bufferpools - so I would have guessed growing the real to 1G. Maybe you were looking at the LPAR allocation for z/VM where the sysprog gave VM 9G of cstor and 3G of estor ?
I was looking at 2 and 3, which are large, and I mentally inserted another 0 on the main stor of the first one. 250M is probably kind of tight, actually; I was reading as 2.5GB. My mistake; thanks for the correction. 256-512MB usually seem like good starting points to me, but some loads really do require more. Start #2 at 512MB and see where that takes you. If you need more, you need more. No need to reduce swap, as long as you have page space to cover it. Although I'd do a smallish higher-priority space for "normal heavy load" conditions, and a larger one for "extraordinary load" conditions.
