In retrospect, I believe you're correct -- which makes my original point
even more important.

Since it is "Storage MDC min=0M max=1600M, usage=49%, bias=1.00" That
is 49% of his 2G, not 49% of 1600M.
Help shows:
usage=ppp%
indicates the percentage of expanded storage or main storage in use
by
mindisk cache.

Ed,
One thing you'll probably want to do is cap the use of both central
and expanded storage by MDC. If I read it correctly, MDC is taking
nearly 800M of your V=V space (49% of 1600M according to Q MDC) for a
benefit of about 1 avoided I/O per second (second line of IND LOAD).

Hello Everyone,
Thank you all for the info about XSTORE, paging, MDC, and the
like. I would like your opinions on what I am doing planning right now.
We are running a MP3000 with 2gig total, no Xstore defined. One
V=R,
2 V=F, and bunches of V=V machines.
Paging is near zero but cpu is at 100%.

We are going to a z890-160 with 8 gig. All V=R/V=F will go
away. I will run those VSE machines with NOPDS, giving them the storage
to match them. Total sizes for these machines will be 2799 meg (2.73
gig).
So I am thinking 2 gig for xstore, 3 gig for the VSE/ESA Nopds
stuff, Leaves 3 gig for z/VM.
Does anyone have any other suggestion? I am really open to new
and improved ideas.
