How do you mean? We are talking about caching directories. VLF caches
objects (loadmodules, clists, catalog entries etc.), not directory
entries. This is LLA's job.

Chris,
Isn't it LLA that does all the heavy lifting? The CPU time and IO counts
certainly suggest it.
I read it as LLA that measures Fetch Performance and decides what objects
will be placed in the CSVLLA and VLF just acts as a container for the CSVLLA
Dataspaces. I also read a few weeks ago

Can you set up a sysplex so that both machines have everything running on
each CPU in the plex, and when one system crashes the other will
automatically take over everything?
In theory: Yes. With the exception of the running transaction. That one will
