I never based my estimates on the amount of real. Only on the Virtual.
Using our same 10TB system with a 2:1 virtual to real would result in 20 TB
page slots and a 60TB paging subsystem.

From days of yore,
IBM has generally recommended 2:1 virtual to real storage. I have pushed this
to 3:1 without major issues.
The paging subsystem should be configured accordingly page slots approx. 3x
available real.
If you are actually going to be doing serious paging, (> +/- 20 pps) the

1) Increase the number of buffers on OUTDD1
2) Investigate the Large Blocksize Interface (LBI)
3) opt(4) On the dump command
The real question is what is the limiting factor, TAPE or DISK?
Items 1 and 2 address the TAPE side
Item 3 addresses the DISK side

That is not considered a good practice in RACF circles.
The best practice would be:
MCAT - UACC(NONE) READ(*) ALTER(sysprogs) (note: No update access except
via sysprogs)
UCAT - UACC(NONE) UPDATE(*) ALTER(sysprogs)

Typically, the vio default (installation set) is much smaller than the max. The

Perhaps a lack of maintenance? I couldn't find anything in a quick problem
search.
I suggest opening a case with IBM.

OA58037 is according to L2 support, a very specific set of conditions.
IMO, it is OK to bypass an error hold, as long
Actually, it probably does not need to be repaired, and IMO is almost certainly

However, if you want to fix this:
Dump all logical datasets on volume.
Reinit volume
Restore all logical datasets.
Probably more work that it is worth.
There is /was a program available from IBM.
I have not checked, but that is consistent with prior IBM practices.
