Anthony, I read with interest your post because we have your same environment (3 z/OS 1.7 LPARs in a basic sysplex) and the performance of GRS ring is not the best. Specifically, I see XCF delays using RMF PM, the average value is about 7-8% on the PROD lpar, on the others it goes over 20 %.

- Original Message From: Scott Fagen [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the case where all of the systems had RESMIL=OFF, GRS basically played 'hot potato' with the RSA, sending it off to the next system as fast as it could. Now, changing one system to RESMIL=0 turned on the tuning _for that one

We have a GRS environment using XCF (ie not using a CF) with three LPARS connected. We had changed the RESMIL value to OFF to try and improve responsiveness. That worked, but the XCFAS address space CPU consumption went up. We decided to change the RESMIL value to 0 since that does leave the

From what I remember, RESMIL 0 should adapt and be self-tuning. I think that the last time I used it we set it to RESMIL of 3. At the time, we were a bit distrustful of letting the system determine how things should be done. The whole thing worked pretty well up until we started adding more
