I am looking for the RMF report(s) where I can find out how much CPU time my system (2066-0A2 w/8 GB) to perform paging. I am trying to determine how much CPU I will get back if we buy more memory. WAS on z is involved ;) I am not aware of any specific RMF report that gives you what you want.

Craig, I may be wrong, but I don't think there is an RMF report that tells you how much CPU is used by paging. Obviously, you can tell just how many pages per second you are doing. Someone may have a rule of thumb that says that for X processor, so many pages per second equals 1% of the

The method in which I've acheived the most success in these types of scenarios was to model. Not to run a commercial, Best/1 was my tool of choice. In this manner you can take your actual workload and do different what if cases and see pretty accururately how your environment will perform

I may be wrong, but I don't think there is an RMF report that tells you how much CPU is used by paging. We used to use, as suggested by IBM, SRB time in performance group zero. Now, in goal mode, would it be SRB in *MASTER*? When in doubt. PANIC!!

If it's WebSphere Application Server on z/OS, and you can get up (at least for an LPAR) z/OS 1.6 or higher and WAS 5.1 or higher, then you can probably get a whole lot of CPU back with a zAAP on a z9 BC model. The OP was asking for advice on how to determine the CPU requirement for paging. NOT,
