Ulrich, I was curious, so I ran just an RMF summary report. We have very little paging. For the 5 day period I ran, I think the highest demand paging for a 15 minute interval was 12 PPS. I had ran this same report in February, and the highest was 57. Most intervals are less than 1 PPS.
I suspect that 3 page datasets on each of the 2 packs doesn't hurt us. When I looked earlier, the locals were a little less than 25% full. I'm just curious what other people feel about this. I'd never seen multiple page datasets on the same volume before other than a 1 CYL PLPA and Common on the same volume. I remember discussions in the past about the number and size of page datasets, and talking about when everything is abending, that that can really stress your page datasets if they aren't big enough. I would imagine in that situation that it could take a lot longer to get out of that situation.
