Re: Paging increase when going from z/OS 1.9 to 1.11
Gadi When we migrated from z/OS 1.9 to 1.11 we were hit by APAR OA33307 which caused excess paging. Description - At z/OS R11, if system is 2Gig REAL, RSM will schedule an SRB ( IAXUO IARUOGBS ) to perform Frame Steal operations running under the *MASTER* asid if a PageFix against HighVirual (64bit) storage is done and no High Frames ( 2Gig Real) are available. RSM attempts to protect 31bit Real Frames as best as possible by first stealing 64bit real frames if none are available. This causes whichever jobs that originally owned those frames (often DB2) to be paged out to AUX when at R10 this was either done to a much smaller extent or not at all. Whichever job/application owns the most High Frames ( 64bit) is most likely to experience the highest number of frames being stolen and thus an increase in AUX Slots. This can *potentially* (though not always) result in performance delays for that application when those pages have to be paged back in to real frames. This problem is usually seen almost immediately upon migrating to z/OS R11, and especially if Real storage is between 2Gig - 4Gig OR (for systems 4Gig) all of the High Frames ( 64Gig ) are in use. For systems between 2Gig - 4Gig the more predominant external symptom is abnormally high CPU in *MASTER*, running under IARUOGBS ( IAXUO ). ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS: MsgIAR005E may be issued if reconfigurable storage is present. You might want to check that you have the PTF for this APAR applied HTH Mike On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 5:16 PM, Chip Grantham cgrant...@ameritas.comwrote: There's a CPU hit ptf for *master* doing work on available frames queue.

Barbara - very true regarding LPAR names , but this gave me another idea. The newer HMC (2.10.x ?) shows an OS type for each LPAR. You could write some code using BCPii (or the older SNMP API) to harvest this information for each LPAR. I think that this answers the OP's request?

JES3 has had a syntax checker (arguably because the parameter language is more cryptic) forever (or at least much longer than I've been around it). Other than the helpful ideas posted thus far, IBM's textbook answer is to define a secondary JES2 subsystem and start it under the current primary. I've never been able to get this to work 100% - always had to edit certain parms to resolve conflicts with the primary, which means edited back before going production, which provided the opportunity to introduce typos or missing/extra comment markers.

Re: PAV Implementation
We implemented HIPERPAV on our USP last year. It is a priced feature but we did not require any services from Hitachi. As other posters have mentioned, implementing PAV/HIPERPAV is pretty straightforward. IOSQ time disappeared entirely. The only down side was that going to HIPERPAV (but not PAV) requires a 2107 emulation. As we were still on a 2105, it required a power recycle to the box , which of course meant a sysplex-wide outage plus an outage to distributed servers using the box Mike On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 8:35 PM, Ted MacNEIL eamacn...@yahoo.ca wrote: You need to define base devices and alias devices within a single LCU. Personally I would recommend HYPERPAVs but then I don't know your environment. You will (usually) see such an improvement, that HIPERPAVs may be overkill. Again, environmentally specific. As well you may want to do a performance analysis to determine the optimum base to alias ratio. This again is simple. Define enough base pairs to cover your online disk. Then make the rest aliases.

I suspect this is a function of how much production data is being touched by the development systems as well as just the handshaking, messaging, etc. across the entire sysplex. I also suspect it affects some online transactions and batch work much more than other work. In addition, they want to know how much greater the impact is if the other site is twice as far away.

Re: HDS/USP Model 27 DASD and DB2
Thanks for your responses. Ed/Adolph - the disks are net new - we have not started consolidating yet. Ron - Cache disk ratio was my error - I meant cache hit ratio. The DB2 disks used until we started this experiment are all MOD-3 with hyperpav. I am not aware of cache partitioning - I will look into it. We currently have 3 MOD-27s and approx 190 MOD-3s with DB2. I am going to look into the Array Group activity monitor Another factor - DB@ I/O is low compared with our total IO profile Mike On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 8:41 AM, Ron Hawkins ron.hawkins1...@sbcglobal.netwrote: Mike, What is Cache Disk ratio? Were you using PAV or HyperPAV on the smaller volumes where the DB2 datasets were previously allocated? I've benchmarked HDS storage from 9900 to USP-V and found no performance differences due to the volume size formatted on the array group (3390-3/9/27/54 and Custom volume Sizes). Have you checked the Array Group activity before and after the change to 3390-27? You can do this with your Performance Manager software launched from Storage Navigator. It's a common problem to end up with back-end IO spread over less spindles during volume consolidation, such that you end up with a sibling pend problem. Taking datasets spread over 50 or more array groups formatted as 3390-3 or 3390-9 and allocating them on just a few array groups formatted as 3390-27 will often cause the problem you are seeing.

Re: HDS/USP Model 27 DASD and DB2
This was not a cosolidation, Only new table datasets have gone to the new MOD-27 disks(no logs, no catalogs). The disks in question have an IORATE of about 5 IO/sec with a response time of 20-25 ms. The CU is a new one - so there is not much else happening on it.

Re: Refresh telnet server certificate?
Brian I ran in to a similar problem a while back. I had to replace the certificate created by gskkyman(not a RACF certificate) but I am guessing it is pretty much the same.
