Bill, Richard Lewis will be working with our people during the tests. When running a test, the directories will be R/O to all users. There may be updates to some during the in-between times. None of the other users of the system during a test will be using the DIRC directories.

If I said otherwise, I'd have nothing to fall back on when you call in a problem. :-) However, if you are using these as read-only DIRC directories in dataspaces, then you have the advantage that SFS uses mapped minidisks to the dataspace. That is we 'page in' directly from the SFS minidisks. Now, if you go doing anything fancy, then all bets are off. Note, this is very different from DB2 use of dataspaces where I would tell you to make sure you accomodate all the dataspace virtual memory. If it were my system, I would still keep a close eye on QUERY ALLOC PAGE. Bill Bitner - VM Performance Evaluation - IBM Endicott - 607-429-3286
