NFS mount of z/OS filesystem from Linux
Ø I searched the web and tried the command examples from the IBM manual but every variation failed. Two things: 1) You need to download and compile mountpw for your Linux system. The source code is supplied with z/OS. Mountpw associates a numeric uid with your z/OS userid, so that the NFS security works. Before you try the mount, run mountpw to establish a userid- uid mapping. 2) z/OS is NFS version 3. NFS4 is supposed to downgrade gracefully, but it's iffy with non-Unix implementations. Specify nfs3. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

I asked around and this as the first in anyones memory. I thought for accuracy's sake I would run through a years worth of RMF data and it showed indeed it as one occurrence and the average around 25 percent page slot utilization. The DB2 people demanded I increase the page space(s). I asked if this as a one time and they wouldn't answer me. I declined to do the increase until they showed why.

Re: Local Page dataset sizing/quantity ROT?
Folks- While I would agree that with all the memory made available to LPARs, you rarely need the locals to back Real pages (of course, prove me wrong with some ginormous sort). But you must also consider what else The locals are used for: that is, SVCDUMPS. If you need to dump a 128GB (virtual) address space, you better Have enough locals to cover that. So while 3 Mod 3s may cover most of the environment, I've seen many shops Start with 10 Mod 3s for Locals, with additional volumes on those systems with large virtual tasks. I also recommend Having a few spare volumes with formatted page datasets on them, just in case...
