I'm in the process of inventorying our DASD farm prior to an upgrade. Found the
following and was wondering if this was common practice:
Volume Page01 contains Local Page datasets for every LPAR.
Same for Page02 through Page12
Size of page datasets ranges from 2250 - 12750 tracks.
Anybody
Dave,
Are you tight on dasd or do you have enough to put things on their own
packs? How is your paging subsystem? Is there a lot of paging going on
your Systems?
My system
COMMON and PLPA are on same volume
All LOCALS have their own volume. No mixing of different LPAR Locals on the
same
if there was any reason not to be doing this.

David,
If you are using PAV, and you have enough defined on the LCU, then it is
probably working fine. I say probably because I assume

Hi Lizette,
Thanks for responding. No, we
concerning Page Packs
Couple of points here.
Define PAVs as DYNAMIC and Not STATIC; the DASD Subsystem will put the
water where the fire is.
I have seen 47 PAVs (I have 48 defined to each LCU) volumes to one
logical device.
Also if you are ESCON consider going to FICON; a considerable difference
