Hello, I asked Charlie Favell in z/OS BCP System Test about RESMIL... A slightly different perspective. Are you using MIM's MII to manage global ENQs and by association GRSRNL=EXCLUDE? If so, global ENQs are a rare thing and you shouldn't be concerned about performance. Maybe try RESMIL(10).

Hello, Based on the lack of warnings in the following page in the GRS Planning Guide ( http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v2r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieag400%2Ftunring.htm ), and some customer experience, I don't think that RESMIL=0 or OFF will severely impact your CPU

Anthony, If you have DB2 in that plex, I would think twice (or thrice) about increasing the resmil value, as DB2 does heavy enqueue activity. I remember one presentation (I think it was at share or maybe another conference), where someone from IBM GRS presented the following item: Company A

Yes RESMIL(5) will reduce cpu consumption, it will also potentially cause performance delays to your jobs, as each system will hold the enq request for a minimum of 5 ms. If you have any applications that generate alot of enqueues, that need to be sent through the ring, they will run longer.

GRS RESMIL setting on CPU consumption

2014-04-23 Thread Anthony Fletcher
It is a while since there had been any discussion of appropriate values of RESMIL and its effect on CPU consumptiom. It appears that there was general concensus that RESMIL(OFF) would be a bad idea, and that RESMIL(0) would be best since it should be managed dynamically. In a 3-LPAR plex with
