Shmuel, You really need to go back and read what I was responding to. Ted said that if he had a dedicated, custom sized volume for PLPA and another volume for Common, he would still allocate a one Cylinder PLPA on the dedicated volume and overflow to Common on another volume.
I said this is silly and pigheaded. What do you think of this? I would simply love you to explain the point of your comment "While I am discussing how to configure it on a real system with a real load." What did you ever mean by that remark? I'm sorry if I need to recall all the inner workings of a mainframe and operating system that hasn't existed for a quarter century to figure this comment out, but what exactly are you trying to say about systems I work on. Be precise now, because the devil is in the detail.
