Yes, how to maximize parallelism is the pertinent question.

Let's assume for the sake of argument, DS88xx with no SSD.
Mix of 3390-3, -9, and -27; HiperPAV enabled, with DASD defined as SHARED in 
the IODF, and some shared across Sysplex boundaries (understood this is not 
utopian, but some customers do it, either self-managed or with the assistance 
of MIM/MII).

How do you spread that 100GB across the farm, assuming you have at least 45 
mod-3 equivalents?  (If my math is not too far off, there's about 2.2GB of 
usable page space on a mod-3).  What would one avoid so as not to handcuff HPAV?

Regards,
